MLB Ejection 050: Layne (2; Kazmir); Replay: Estabrook

HP Umpire Jerry Layne ejected Athletics P Scott Kazmir for arguing a ball four call in the bottom of the 2nd inning of the A's-Indians game. With one out and one on, Indians batter Jesus Aguilar took a 3-2 fastball from Kazmir for a called fourth ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the heart of home plate and knee-high (px .039, pz 1.761 / sz_bot 1.620), the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Indians were leading, 1-0.

Instant Replay Review upheld 3B Umpire Mike Estabrook's live ball (no HR) call in the top of the 7th inning. With two out and two on, A's batter Josh Donaldson hit a 0-0 slider from Indians pitcher Bryan Shaw on a fly ball to deep right-center field, ruled in play for a triple. Upon Replay Review as the result of a request by A's Manager Bob Melvin and initiation by Crew Chief Layne, Estabrook's ruling was affirmed, the call was correct. At the time of the review,  the A's were leading, 5-2. The A's ultimately won the contest, 6-2.
