With two out and one on, Cardinals batter Yadier Molina took a 3-0 fastball from D-Backs pitcher Tyler Skaggs as Cardinals baserunner R2 Carlos Beltran attempted to steal third base as Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero attempted to throw him out. Replays indicate D-Backs third baseman Martin Prado caught the ball and appeared to tag Beltran's right foot with his glove prior to Beltran arriving at third; because Diamondbacks Manager Kirk Gibson argued the call at the time of the event, Trammell's ejection during a pitching change falls under the classification of USC-NEC - no exemption applies, the call was irrecusable.* At the time of the ejection, the Diamondbacks were leading, 6-5. The Diamondbacks ultimately won the contest, 7-6.
This is Jordan Baker (71)'s second ejection of 2013.
Jordan Baker now has 6 points in the UEFL (3 + 3 AAA + 0 Irrecusable Call = 6).
Crew Chief Dana DeMuth now has 1 point in the Crew Division (0 Previous + 1 Irrecusable Call = 1).
*
UEFL Rule 6-2-b-5-b specifies irrecusability for teams engaging in two+ visits concerning the same play.
This is the 64th ejection of 2013.
This the Diamondbacks' 4th ejection of 2013, 2nd in the NL West (LAD 5;
ARI 4; SF 2; SD 1; COL 0).
This is Alan Trammell's first ejection since September 20, 2005 (Lance Barksdale; QOC = U).
