HP Umpire Gary Darling ejected Rockies Third Base Coach Rich Dauer for arguing a ball (no swing) call in the bottom of the 6th inning of the Rockies-Brewers game. With two out and one on, Brewers batter Yuniesky Betancourt successfully attempted to check his swing on a 2-2 slider from Rockies pitcher Clayton Mortensen. Replays indicate Betancourt did not appear to attempt to strike the ball, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Brewers were leading, 3-1. The Brewers ultimately won the contest, 3-2.
This is Gary Darling (37)'s first ejection of 2011.
