BOSTON — Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected in the first inning of the opening game of a split doubleheader against Minnesota at Fenway Park. Cora became irate after the umpiring crew came together and decided to allow Byron Buxton to advance to third on an interference call at second on a pickoff attempt. Once the call was made, Cora quickly strutted out of the dugout and argued behind the mound, where crew chief Alan Porter ejected him. Porter tried to block him as he attempted to go argue with the other umpires.
