MLB Ejection 129 - Roberto Ortiz (3; Bryan Reynolds)

[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Roberto Ortiz ejected Pirates batter Bryan Reynolds (strike three call; QOCY) in the bottom of the 7th inning of the #RedSox-#Pirates game. With one out and the bases loaded, Reynolds took a 1-2 slider from Red Sox pitcher John Schreiber for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner edge of home plate and at the knees (px -0.71, pz 1.72 [sz_bot 1.54 / RAD 1.42]) and that all other pitches during the at-bat were properly officiated, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Red Sox were leading, 5-0. The Red Sox ultimately won the contest, 5-3.

This is Roberto Ortiz (40)'s 3rd ejection of 2022.

Roberto Ortiz now has 6 points in the UEFL Standings (2 Prev + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 6).

Crew Chief Bill Miller now has 6 points in Crew Division (5 Previous + 1 Correct Call = 6).
