CLEVELAND — Aaron Boone earned his first ejection of the season Wednesday after a bizarre sequence in the first inning of the Yankees-Guardians game.

The Yankees seemed to have an inning-ending double play when Aaron Hicks appeared to make a sliding catch in center field and threw to second to double off a runner.

Second base umpire Larry Vanover put his arm up to signal the out and the Yankees ran off the field.

The Guardians did not appear to make any obvious signal to challenge the play within the 15 seconds they are allotted to do so, and their pitcher and catcher started to take the field before stopping as the umps began to huddle.

Boone came out of the Yankees dugout on four separate occasions to argue while the umpires were reviewing the play — he was tossed after his first visit, after some emphatic pointing and yelling — and it was eventually overturned after a lengthy delay.

The result of the play was an RBI single for Josh Naylor, putting the Guardians up 1-0 with runners on the corners and one out.

According to a press box announcement, the review was triggered by the Guardians’ challenge, though it was unclear when exactly that came.

With their new life, the Guardians tacked on another run in the bottom of the first inning before Clarke Schmidt was finally able to get out of it.
