MLB Ejection 132: Dan Bellino (6; Yunel Escobar)

HP Umpire Dan Bellino ejected Rays SS Yunel Escobar for arguing a strike three call in the top of the 4th inning of the Rays-Cardinals game.

Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner half of home plate and at the hollow of the knee (px -.479, pz 1.511 / sz_bot 1.580 [MOE 1.497]), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Rays were leading, 1-0. The Rays ultimately won the contest, 3-0.
