HP Umpire Bob Davidson ejected Reds Bench Coach Chris Speier for arguing a strike three swinging call in the top of the 8th inning of the Reds-Pirates game. With two out and none on, Reds batter Jay Bruce attempted to check his swing on a 1-2 curveball from Pirates pitcher Jose Veras for a called third strike swinging. Replays indicate Bruce was not successful in checking his swing, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Pirates were leading, 4-3. The Reds ultimately won the contest, 5-4.
This is Bob Davidson (6)'s eighth ejection of 2011.
