MLB Ejection 182: Alan Porter (2; Francisco Cervelli)

HP Umpire Alan Porter ejected Pirates C Francisco Cervelli for arguing a ball two call in the bottom of the 3rd inning of the Pirates-Marlins game. With none out and none on, Marlins batter Jeff Mathis took a 1-0 fastball from Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole for a called second ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the outer edge of home plate and knee high (px 0.861, pz 1.642 [sz_bot 1.350]), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Pirates were leading, 1-0. The Pirates ultimately won the contest, 2-1.
