3B Umpire Fieldin Culbreth ejected Mets Manager Terry Collins for arguing an out (reversed) call in the bottom of the 5th inning of the Rockies-Mets game. With one out and one on, Rockies pitcher Jhoulys Chacin attempted to pick off baserunner R2 Andres Torres. Replays indicate that during the rundown that ensued between shortstop Jonathan Herrera and third baseman Jordan Pacheco, 2B Umpire Lance Barksdale erroneously ruled Torres safewhile Culbreth's out call was proper, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Mets were leading, 1-0. The Rockies ultimately won the contest, 6-2.
