MLB Ejection 089: Bill Welke (2; Mike Redmond)

HP Umpire Bill Welke ejected Marlins Manager Mike Redmond for arguing an out call in the top of the 4th inning of the Marlins-Cardinals game. With one out and one on, Marlins batter Nathan Eovaldi hit a 1-0 fastball from Cardinals pitcher Joe Kelly to second baseman Matt Carpenter, who threw home to catcher Tony Cruz in an attempt to retire advancing baserunner R3 Adeiny Hechavarria on the fielder's choice.

Redmond argues with PU for 2nd time in 2 days.

Replays indicate Hechavarria's foot contacted home plate before the tag was applied, the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Marlins were leading, 4-2. The Cardinals ultimately won the contest, 5-4.

This is Bill Welke (52)'s 2nd ejection of 2013.
