MLB Ejections 062-063: Todd Tichenor (1-2; Napoli, Farrell)

HP Umpire Todd Tichenor ejected Red Sox 1B Mike Napoli and Manager John Farrell for arguing a strike three call in the top of the 8th inning of the Red Sox-Rangers game. With two out and none on, Napoli took a 2-2 fastball from Rangers pitcher Ross Ohlendorf for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and thigh-high (px .408, pz 1.757 [sz_bot 1.44]), the call was correct. At the time of the ejections, the Rangers were leading, 5-4. The Rangers ultimately won the contest, 7-4.
