MLB Ejection 086 - Tim Timmons (1; Edinson Volquez)

HP Umpire Tim Timmons ejected Royals P Edinson Volquez for arguing a time out call (Unsportsmanlike-NEC) in the top of the 3rd inning of the Cardinals-Royals game. With two out and none on, Cardinals batter Matt Adams requested and was granted time out as Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura prepared to deliver a 0-1 pitch. Replays do not indicate the timeliness of Adams' request and Volquez was ejected from the dugout after Adams' subsequently singled, the call was irrecusable.* At the time of the ejection, the Cardinals were leading, 3-2. The Cardinals ultimately won the contest, 8-4.

This is Tim Timmons (95)'s first ejection of the 2016 MLB regular season.
Tim Timmons now has 4 points in the UEFL Standings (2 Previous + 2 MLB + 0 Irrecusable = 4).
Crew Chief Mike Everitt now has 5 points in Crew Division (4 Previous + 1 Irrecusable Call = 5).
