[Lindsay]

HP Umpire James Hoye ejected Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman (strike two call; QOCY) in the top of the 6th inning of the #Rockies-#Astros game. With two out and none on, Rockies batter Goodman took a 0-1 curveball from Astros pitcher Framber Valdez for a called second strike before striking out swinging on the next pitch. Replays indicate the 0-1 pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and at the hollow beneath the knee (px 0.46, pz 1.50 [sz_bot 1.56 / RAD 1.44]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Astros were leading, 1-0. The Astros ultimately won the contest, 4-0.

This is James Hoye (92)'s 6th ejection of 2025.

*This pitch was located 1.68 vertical inches from being deemed incorrect.
