MLB Ejection 053: John Tumpane (3; Kyle Seager)

HP Umpire John Tumpane ejected Mariners 3B Kyle Seager for arguing a strike three call in the top of the 5th inning of the Mariners-Orioles game. With one out and one on, Seager took a 3-2 fastball from Orioles pitcher Brad Brach for a called third strike as catcher Ryan Lavarnway threw to shortstop JJ Hardy to retire Mariners baserunner R1 Robinson Cano. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner half of home plate and thigh high (px 0.530, pz 2.184 [sz_bot 1.410, sz_top 3.350]), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Orioles were leading, 4-3. The Orioles ultimately won the contest, 5-4.
