1B Umpire Brian Knight ejected Mariners Manager Eric Wedge for arguing a safe call in the bottom of the 14th inning of the Orioles-Mariners game. With none on and none out, Orioles batter Omar Quintanilla hit a 1-1 slider from Mariners pitcher Shawn Kelley on the ground to second baseman Dustin Ackley, throw to first baseman Mike Carp, who stretched in an attempt to keep his foot on first base as Quintanilla arrived at the bag. Replays indicate Carp successfully fielded the throw and tagged first base prior to Quintanilla's arrival, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 7-7. The Orioles ultimately won the contest, 8-7, in 14 innings.
This is Brian Knight (91)'s fifth ejection of 2012.
