NEW YORK (AP) — Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss was ejected in the fifth inning against the New York Yankees on Saturday for arguing a balk charged to ace Chris Sale.

With one out and New York rookie Spencer Jones on third following a triple, Sale was called for a balk by plate umpire Dan Merzel.

It was the third career balk for Sale, who appeared to have a slight hitch in his leg before starting his motion. Jones scored to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead.

Sale approached Merzel to contest the call before Weiss rushed out of the dugout to continue the argument and prevent the left-hander from getting tossed. Weiss took his cap off and fiercely argued with Merzel before he was thrown out.
