Ejections: Bob Davidson (4, 5)

HP Umpire Bob Davidson ejected Brewers Batting Coach Dale Sveum and Brewers Manager Ron Roenicke for arguing a hit by pitch call in the bottom of the 6th inning of the Rays-Brewers game. With none out and none on, Brewers batter Nyjer Morgan was hit by a 0-2 fastball on the arm. Davidson ruled that Morgan had the opportunity to avoid the pitch, but did not attempt to. Replays indicate Morgan turned his body away from the pitch with his arms behind his body, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Rays were leading, 1-0. The Rays ultimately won the contest, 8-4.
