MLB Ejections 143-145: Jim Wolf (1-3; TOR)

HP Umpire Jim Wolf ejected Blue Jays Manager John Gibbons for arguing an ejection no-call (Unsportsmanlike-NEC) in the bottom of the 7th and Blue Jays P Aaron Sanchez and Bench Coach DeMarlo Hale for throwing at Royals batter Alcides Escobar in the top of the 8th inning of the Royals-Blue Jays game. In the 7th, with one out and two on, Blue Jays batter Josh Donaldson took a 2-2 fastball from Royals pitcher Ryan Madson for a called third ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located high and inside and followed preceding batter Troy Tulowitzki's hit-by-pitch and earlier warnings issued, the call was irrecusable. In the 8th, with two out and none on, Royals batter Escobar took a 2-0 fastball from Blue Jays pitcher Sanchez for a hit-by-pitch. Replays indicate the pitch was located inside and hit Escobar in the lower leg, the call was irrecusable. At the time of Gibbons' ejection, the Blue Jays were leading, 2-0. At the time of the latter two ejections, the Blue Jays were leading, 3-0. The Blue Jays ultimately won the contest, 5-2.
