NEW YORK -- Kevin Gausman was ejected by plate umpire Chris Conroy as the Toronto Blue Jays pitcher was removed after giving up six runs and walking five while throwing 53 pitches in the third inning of Sunday's doubleheader opener against the New York Yankees.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider was ejected two innings inning later for arguing a called strike to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the second pitch of the fifth.
Gausman threw the most pitches by anyone in an inning since Pittsburgh's Cam Vieaux had 56 in an eight-run eighth inning against Milwaukee on July 1, 2022, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
