[Lindsay]

HP Umpire Jordan Baker ejected Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo (warnings after Gabriel Moreno HBP) in the top of the 7th inning of the #Diamondbacks-#Royals game. With one out and none on in the bottom of the 6th, Royals batter Bobby Witt Jr, who was a single shy of hitting for the cycle, took a 0-0 sinker from Diamondbacks pitcher Humberto Castellanos for a hit-by-pitch. With two outs and none on in the top of the 7th, Diamondbacks batter Moreno took a 2-1 sinker from Royals pitcher John Schreiber for a hit-by-pitch, resulting in warnings. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the inner edge of home plate and struck Moreno in the back, the call was irrecusable. At the time of the ejection, the Royals were leading, 10-3. The Royals ultimately won the contest, 10-4.
