HP Umpire Tom Hallion ejected Diamondbacks Manager Kirk Gibson for arguing a safe call in the bottom of the 4th inning of the Diamondbacks-Giants game. With none out and one on, Giants batter Hector Sanchez hit a 1-1 sinker from Diamondbacks pitcher Trevor Cahill to Giants right fielder Gerardo Parra, who fielded the fly ball and threw home as Giants baserunner R3 Pablo Sandoval attempted to score from third base. Replays indicate Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero's glove and baseball touched Sandoval's right oblique before Sandoval's hand contacted home plate, the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Giants were leading, 2-0. The Diamondbacks ultimately won the contest, 4-2.
