[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Jerry Meals ejected Rangers manager Chris Woodward (strike one call; QOCN) in the bottom of the 4th inning of the #Mariners-#Rangers game. With none out and none on, Rangers batter Adolis Garcia took a first-pitch slider from Mariners pitcher George Kirby for a called first strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the outer edge of home plate and at the height of the waist (px 1.16, pz 2.84), the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Mariners were leading, 3-1. The Mariners ultimately won the contest, 6-2.
