MLB Ejection 024 - Cory Blaser (1; AJ Pierzynski)

HP Umpire Cory Blaser ejected Braves C AJ Pierzynski for arguing a strike three call in the bottom of the 4th inning of the Diamondbacks-Braves game. With two out and one on, Pierzynski took a 3-2 fastball from Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Greinke for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and below the hollow of the knee (px -.404, pz 1.536 [sz_bot 1.680 / MOE 1.597]), the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Diamondbacks were leading, 3-0. The Diamondbacks ultimately won the contest, 7-2.

This is Cory Blaser (89)'s first ejection of the 2016 MLB regular season.
Cory Blaser now has -1 points in the UEFL Standings (1 Previous + 2 MLB - 4 Incorrect Call = -1).
