Ejections: Rob Drake (7)

HP Umpire Rob Drake ejected Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina for arguing a strike three call in the top of the 10th inning of the Cardinals-Brewers game. With none out and none on, Molina took a 1-2 fastball from Brewers pitcher Marco Estrada for a called strike three. Replays indicate the called third strike was thigh high, but off the inside corner of the plate, the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 7-7. The Cardinals ultimately won the contest, 8-7.

This is Rob Drake (30)'s seventh ejection of 2011.
