[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Alfonso Márquez ejected Nationals bench coach Miguel Cairo (strike one call to Jacob Young; QOCY) in the bottom of the 2nd inning of the #Phillies-#Nationals game. With two out and two on, Nationals batter Young took a 3-0 sinker from Phillies pitcher Christopher Sánchez for a called first strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and above the hollow of the knee (px 0.43, pz 1.72 [sz_bot 1.59]), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 1-1. The Nationals ultimately won the contest, 3-2.
