Mound Visit
White Sox challenged call at 2nd, claiming Baez was guilty of slide interference; call was upheld - force out, no interference;
After first pitch to Bryant, White Sox shortstop Anderson asked for an explanation on the non-call of interference which escalated into an argument with 2b umpire West who ejected him; White Sox manager Renteria came out to argue and was also ejected by West
