NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jesus Luzardo started his outing against the New York Mets on Tuesday night hot and left the same way, only given the opportunity to cool off early.
Luzardo was upset with home plate umpire Willie Traynor when Mets slugger Juan Soto was granted a timeout as he was winding up to throw in the bottom of the first inning. Luzardo and Traynor had a conversation and it appeared to set the stage for the rest of the evening.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson removed Luzardo from the game in the bottom of the fifth inning with Philadelphia leading the game 2-1 and New York threatening with the bases loaded. As Luzardo left the game, he appeared to fire off an expletive toward Traynor.
“Wake the f— up. This isn’t the minor leagues,” Luzardo screamed at the umpire. He was promptly ejected.
