Ejections: Alfonso Marquez (2)
HP Umpire Alfonso Marquez ejected Cubs Manager Mike Quade for arguing a ball call in the top of the 9th inning of the Brewers-Cubs game. With none out and none on, Brewers batter Prince Fielder took a 2-2 slider from Cubs pitcher Carlos Marmol for a called ball three. Replays indicate the pitch was located thigh high, but off the outer half of the plate, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 4-4. The Cubs ultimately won the contest, 5-4, in 10 innings.
This is Alfonso Marquez (72)'s second ejection of 2011. Alfonso Marquez now has 8 points in the Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (4 Previous + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 8). Alfonso Marquez was not drafted in 2011.
This is the 75th ejection of 2011. This is the 40th manager ejection of 2011. This is Mike Quade's second ejection of 2011.
