Ejection 100: Mike Winters (1)

1B Umpire Mike Winters ejected Cubs Manager Dale Sveum for arguing an out call in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Cardinals-Cubs game. With two out and three on, Cubs batter Starlin Castro hit a 1-2 changeup from Cardinals pitcher Brian Fuentes to shortstop Daniel Descalso, who threw to first baseman Lance Berkman as Castro arrived at first base. Replays indicate Castro's left foot contacted first base prior to Berkman catching the ball, the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Cubs were leading, 3-2. The Cubs ultimately won the contest, 3-2.

Castro appears to have been safe.
