HP Umpire Scott Barry ejected Rays Manager Joe Maddon for arguing a foul ball call made by 1B Umpire Tim Welke in the top of the 6th inning of the Blue Jays-Rays game. With none out and none on, Blue Jays batter
Maicer Izturis hit a 1-0 cutter from Rays pitcher Jamey Wright onto the infield where it was fielded by first baseman James Loney, but ruled a foul ball by 1B Umpire Welke for having contacted Izturis' leg or foot at home plate, while Izturis was in a legal batting position within the batter's box pursuant to Rule 6.03, before striking the ground. Replays indicate the batted ball did not make contact with Izturis' person whatsoever, the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Rays were leading, 6-2. The Rays ultimately won the contest, 10-4.
