HP Umpire Angel Campos ejected A's Manager Bob Geren for arguing a ball two call in the top of the 6th inning of the Orioles-A's game. With none out and none on, Orioles batter Matt Wieters hit a 3-1 fastball from A's pitcher Gio Gonzalez to left fielder Josh Willingham for a single. Geren was ejected by Campos on the subsequent pitching change immediately following the single by Wieters. Replays indicate the 1-0 pitch was located belt high and over the inner edge of home plate, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 2-2. The A's ultimately won the contest, 6-2.
This is Angel Campos (84)'s third ejection of 2011.
Angel Campos now has -6 points in the Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (-4 Previous + 3 AAA + -1 Penalty + -4 Incorrect Call = -6).
