Warning: Video contains coarse language

The New York Yankees recorded a double play on Saturday during the third inning when Oakland Athletics catcher Yan Gomes hit a liner to second baseman DJ LeMahieu, who threw to third base to get Starling Marte.

The umpires now called Starling Marte out at 3rd on this play. Replay showed he was safe. Umpires said the call stands and Bob Melvin has been ejected. This is a disaster. #LunchBreakYanks pic.twitter.com/6FrOQrmrXc

The Athletics asked for a replay review, but the call on the field stood despite the overwhelming video evidence that Marte was safe because third baseman Rougned Odor was off the bag.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin was ejected for arguing the failed replay challenge.

Marte stole third base prior to the controversial call, but he appeared to be caught. The Yankees couldn't challenge the play after using one earlier in the game.

Starling Marte should have been out at third ... but the #Yankees don't have a challenge after using it in the second inning. Aaron Boone is steamed. pic.twitter.com/Mvm5jaq9lR
