MLB Ejections 014|015 - Todd Tichenor (Phelps, Mattingly)

HP Umpire Todd Tichenor ejected Marlins P David Phelps and Manager Don Mattingly for arguing a ball four call in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Marlins-Dodgers game. With one out and two on, Dodgers batter Joc Pederson took a 3-2 fastball from Phelps for a called fourth ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the inner edge of home plate and thigh high (px 1.067, pz 2.681) and that all other pitches during the at bat were properly officiated, the call was correct. At the time of the ejections, the Marlins were leading, 2-0. The Marlins ultimately won the contest, 2-0.

These are Todd Tichenor (13)'s first and second ejections of the 2016 MLB regular season.
