HP Umpire Scott Barry ejected Royals Manager Ned Yost for arguing a strike three call in the top of the 8th inning of the Royals-Rays game. With none out and none on, Royals batter Eric Hosmer took a 2-2 changeup from Rays pitcher James Shields for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located knee high and over the outer edge of home plate (pz of 1.62), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Royals were leading, 4-1. The Royals ultimately won the contest, 5-3.
