3B Umpire Dale Scott ejected Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez for arguing a reversed safe call made by 1B Umpire CB Bucknor in the bottom of the 6th inning of the Braves-Phillies game.* With two out and one on, Phillies batter Placido Polanco hit a 2-2 curveball from Braves pitcher Brandon Beachy to right fielder Jason Heyward, who attempted to catch the ball in flight with a diving effort. Initially ruled an out by Bucknor, the call was reversed after umpire consultation. Replays indicate the ball appeared to have bounced prior to entering Heyward's glove, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 1-1. The Phillies ultimately won the contest, 3-2.
This is Dale Scott (5)'s second ejection of 2011.
