MLB Ejections 033-036 - Alan Porter, Jeff Kellogg (PIT-CIN)

2B Umpire Alan Porter ejected Pirates LF Starling Marte & HP Umpire Jeff Kellogg ejected Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle for arguing Replay Review (overturned call) in the top of the 6th, and HP Umpire Kellogg ejected Reds P Ross Ohlendorf and Manager Bryan Price for throwing at Pirates batter David Freese in the top of the 9th inning of the Pirates-Reds game. In the 6th, with two out and one on, Pirates baserunner R1 Starling Marte attempted to steal second base off Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart, who threw to second baseman Brandon Phillips as Marte arrived at second base. Upon Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Reds Manager Bryan Price, 2B Umpire Porter's safe call was overturned as Phillips' glove appeared to Marte's hand while Marte was not in contact with the base, the call was correct. At the time of the Pirates' ejections, the Reds were leading, 4-2. In the 9th, with two out and one on (R2), Pirates batter Freese took a 2-0 fastball from Reds pitcher Ohlendorf for a hit-by-pitch. Replays indicate the pitch was located inside and struck Freese on the left arm, the call was irrecusable; warnings had previously been issued and there were six HBP in the game.* At the time of the Reds' ejections, the Pirates were leading, 5-4. The Pirates ultimately won the contest, 5-4.
