HP Umpire Tony Randazzo ejected Cardinals pitcher John Axford and Manager Mike Matheny for throwing at Pirates batter Tony Sanchez in the top of the 8th inning of the Pirates-Cardinals game. With none out and one on via a double, Sanchez was hit by a first pitch inside fastball. Warnings had previously been issued when Cardinals batter Yadier Molina took a fastball high and inside, the call was irrecusable. At the time of the ejection, the Cardinals were leading, 12-1. The Cardinals ultimately won the contest, 12-8.
These are Tony Randazzo (11)'s second and third ejections of 2013.
Tony Randazzo now has 6 points in the UEFL (2 Previous + 2*[2 MLB + 0 Irrecusable Call] = 6).
Crew Chief Brian Gorman now has 12 points in the UEFL's Crew Division (10 + 2 Irrecusable Call = 12).
These are the 156th and 157th ejections of the 2013 MLB season.
This is the 68th player ejection of 2013. Prior to ejection, Axford's line was H, 2 R, HBP.
This is the 77th Manager ejection of 2013.
This is the Cardinals' 6th ejection of 2013, 3rd in the NL Central (PIT 8; CHC 7; STL 6; MIL 3; CIN 0).
