MLB Ejection 011: Joe West (1; Cesar Cabral)

HP Umpire Joe West ejected Yankees pitcher Cesar Cabral for throwing at Rays batter Logan Forsythe in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Yankees-Rays game. With two out and two on, Forsythe took a 0-0 fastball from Cabral for a hit by pitch. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the inner edge of home plate and shoulder high, coming into contact with Forsythe's upper left arm as he attempted to avoid being hit by the pitched ball, the call was irrecusable. It was Cabral's third hit batsman in four batters. At the time of the ejection, the Rays were leading, 11-3. The Rays ultimately won the contest, 11-3.
