HP Umpire Mark Ripperger ejected Astros Manager Bo Porter for arguing a safe call in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Astros-Athletics game. With two out and one on, A's batter Alberto Callaspo hit a 1-2 fastball from Astros pitcher Jorge De Leon back to the mound, fielded by De Leon as A's baserunner R3 Stephen Vogt attempted to score from third base. Replays indicate Vogt's foot contacted home plate prior to Astros catcher Matt Pagnozzi's glove with ball touching Vogt's hip, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Astros were leading, 3-2. The Astros ultimately won the contest, 3-2.
