Pre-Season Ejection 4: Seth Buckminster (1)

HP Umpire Seth Buckminster ejected Mariners Manager Eric Wedge for arguing a ball call in the top of the 6th inning of the Dodgers-Mariners game. With two outs and two on, Dodgers batter Joc Pederson took a 2-0 curveball from Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez for a called third ball. Replays are inconclusive as to the quality of the pitch, the call is irrecusable. At the time of the ejection, the Mariners were leading, 4-3. The Mariners ultimately won the contest, 10-7.

This is Seth Buckminster ()'s first ejection of Spring Training and first MLB ejection.
This is the 4th MLB ejection of 2013.
This is the 2nd Manager ejection of Spring Training 2013 and Wedge's first career Spring Training ejection.
