MLB Ejection 109: Rob Drake (3; Brett Oberholtzer)

HP Umpire Rob Drake ejected Astros P Brett Oberholtzer for throwing at Yankees batter Alex Rodriguez in the top of the 2nd inning of the Yankees-Astros game. With one out and one on, Oberholtzer surrendered a home run to Yankees batter Chris Young. Immediately thereafter, subsequent batter Rodriguez took a first-pitch fastball inside for a called first ball. Replays indicate the pitch was significantly inside (px -2.580, or nearly two feet [22.5 inches] from the inner edge of home plate), the call was irrecusable. At the time of the ejection, the Yankees were leading, 6-0. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 9-6.

This is Rob Drake (30)'s third ejection of 2015.
