MLB Ejection & Replay Review: Schrieber, Little (1, 12)

HP Umpire Paul Schrieber ejected Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly for arguing a strike two call in the top of the 6th and Instant Replay Review overturned 2B Umpire Will Little's out call in the bottom of the 2nd inning of the Dodgers-Tigers game. In the 2nd, with none out and none on, Tigers batter Torii Hunter hit a line drive to Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig, who threw to shortstop Miguel Rojas as Hunter slid into second base. Upon Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Tigers Manager Brad Ausmus, Little's ruling was reversed, the call was incorrect. At the time of the review, the Dodgers were leading, 5-0.

In the 6th, with none out and one on, Dodgers batter Adrian Gonzalez took a 2-1 changeup from Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander for a called second strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner half of home plate and below the hollow of the knee (px -.635, pz 1.636 / sz_bot 1.81), the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Tigers were leading, 12-5. The Tigers ultimately won the contest, 14-5.
