HP Umpire John Tumpane ejected Rockies Manager Walt Weiss in the top of the 6th and Instant Replay Review confirmed 1B Umpire Bob Davidson's out call in the bottom of the 2nd inning of the Rockies-Indians game. In the 2nd, with none out and none on, Indians batter Yan Gomes hit a 2-2 slider from Rockies pitcher Juan Nicasio on the ground to shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who threw to first baseman Justin Morneau as Gomes arrived at first base.
