Angels interim manager Phil Nevin ejected following Shohei Ohtani's home run vs. Braves

Los Angeles Angels interim manager Phil Nevin managed to get ejected from Saturday night's game vs. the Atlanta Braves in the aftermath of a home run by his own star.

Nevin's ire appeared to be stoked in the bottom of the fourth inning, when Braves All-Star Austin Riley was ruled to have checked his swing on what would have been an inning-ending strikeout. On the very next pitch, Riley drilled a 415-foot, two-run home run that put the defending champs up 7-1.

Nevin expressed his displeasure at the time, and Shohei Ohtani's homer the next inning — a solo shot off Kyle Wright — apparently did nothing to calm him down.
