[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Gabe Morales ejected Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo (ball one call; QOCY) in the top of the 3rd inning of the #Brewers-#Diamondbacks game. With one out and none on, Brewers batter Mike Brosseau took a first-pitch sinker from D-Backs pitcher Drey Jameson for a called first ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located near the outer edge of home plate and below the midpoint (px -0.78, pz 2.99), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Diamondbacks were leading, 1-0. The Diamondbacks ultimately won the contest, 7-3.

This is Gabe Morales (47)'s 1st ejection of 2023.
