White Sox star Tim Anderson ejected vs. Giants after trying to call timeout at the plate

Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox was removed from Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants after being refused a timeout at the plate. Anderson was on a 1-2 count against Giants pitcher Logan Webb in the third inning of the White Sox's 7-3 victory at Guaranteed Rate Field when he looked to attempt to request a timeout and stepped out of the box entirely. However, umpire D.J. Reyburn did not halt the game, Webb delivered a strike, and Anderson was called out. Anderson was obviously upset and began yelling at Reyburn as he strode back to the dugout. Reyburn swiftly removed him from the contest. When Anderson was removed from the game, the White Sox led 2-1. After Hanser Alberto hit an RBI single and Luis Robert Jr. hit an RBI double in the fifth, they increased their advantage to 7-1, and Yoan Moncada and Gavin Sheets combined to drive in three runs in the seventh. The White Sox's third victory in six games this season took them back to.500 on the season. The Giants, who are now 2-3, will finish their series against the White Sox on Thursday before hosting Kansas City on Friday.
