3B Umpire Sam Holbrook ejected Mariners Manager Eric Wedge for arguing a check swing call in the bottom of the 3rd inning of the Mariners-Angels game. With none out and one on, Angels batter Hank Conger attempted to check his swing on a 3-2 slider from Mariners pitcher Michael Pineda as Angels baserunner Mark Trumbo attempted to steal second base. Replays indicate Conger was successfully able to check his swing and Trumbo was therefore entitled to second base and not liable to be tagged out, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 0-0. The Angels ultimately won the contest, 9-3.
This is Sam Holbrook (34)'s first ejection of 2011.
Sam Holbrook now has 4 points in the Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (0 Previous + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 4).
