HP Umpire Doug Eddings ejected Mets Manager Terry Collins for arguing a foul ball call in the top of the 1st inning of the Astros-Mets game. With one out and none on, Astros batter Angel Sanchez hit a 2-2 changeup from Mets pitcher Chris Capuano into the glove of catcher Mike Nickeas. Eddings ruled the ball had bounced prior to entering Nickeas' glove: a foul ball. Replays indicate the pitch was cleanly foul tipped into Nickeas' glove without touching the ground, the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 0-0. The Mets ultimately won the contest, 9-1.
This is Doug Eddings (88)'s first ejection of 2011.
