Date:

With the Boston Red Sox all but mathematically out of postseason contention, manager Alex Cora let out some of his frustration during Sunday’s doubleheader opener against the Minnesota Twins.In the top of the first, Cora calmly walked out of the dugout to talk to the umpires after an obstruction call was made at second base. But the interaction turned heated with Cora waving his arms wildly.

Cora then had to be held back by third base umpire Alan Porter.The manager was quickly ejected.
