HP Umpire Ted Barrett ejected Marlins Manager Edwin Rodriguez for arguing a runner placement call in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Marlins-Rays game. With one out and two on, Rays batter Sean Rodriguez hit a 2-2 fastball from Marlins pitcher Steve Cishek down the right field line. Rays R2 Matt Joyce and R1 Evan Longoria scored on spectator interference. Replays indicate that Longoria was well past second base at the moment the fan touched the ball, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Rays were leading, 5-1. The Rays ultimately won the contest, 5-1.
