Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected during the eighth inning of a 6-5, 11-inning loss to the Cincinnati Reds on March 28, 2026, after arguing with home plate umpire CB Bucknor. Bucknor had eight calls challenged, with six overturned, including two consecutive strike-three calls against Reds’ Eugenio Suarez. Cora criticized Bucknor’s performance, emphasizing the impact of the new Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) on umpiring decisions. The game ended with a walk-off single by Reds’ Dane Myers after Wilyer Abreu tied it for Boston with a homer in the ninth.
