HP Umpire Chad Fairchild ejected Tigers 3B Miguel Cabrera and Manager Jim Leyland for arguing a strike two call in the bottom of the 3rd inning of the Phillies-Tigers game. With three on and one out, Cabrera took a 0-1 fastball from Phillies pitcher Jonathan Pettibone for a called second strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located navel high and over the outer half of home plate (sz_top 3.590, pz 3.143; px 0.378) [strike one was also located navel high and over the outer half of home plate (sz_top 3.590, pz 3.041; px 0.241)], the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Phillies were leading, 1-0.
These are Chad Fairchild (75)'s seventh and eighth ejections of 2013.
Chad Fairchild now has 23 points in the UEFL (15 Previous + 2*[2 MLB + 2 Correct Call] = 23).
