This is Terry Pendleton's first ejection since Sept 10, 2010 (Jim Reynolds; QOC = N-C [Balls/Strikes]).*
This is Jeff Nelson's first ejection since September 26, 2014 (Rick Renteria; QOC = Y [Balk]).
*QOC for the 9/10/10 ejection is incorrect. U1 Reynolds ruled "no swing" on a pitch that PU Tim Welke had incorrectly ruled a ball (pitch was located within the strike zone). Thus, QOC = N-Crewmate.
