MLB Ejection 072: Todd Tichenor (1; Rick Renteria)

HP Umpire Todd Tichenor ejected Chicago Cubs Manager Rick Renteria for arguing a ball one call in the top of the 3rd inning of the Mets-Cardinals game.

At the time of the ejection, the Mets were leading, 3-2. The Cubs ultimately won the contest, 5-4.
