MLB Ejection 121 - Carlos Torres (3; Kendrys Morales)

HP Umpire Carlos Torres ejected Royals DH Kendrys Morales for arguing a strike two call in the top of the 9th inning of the Royals-Rays game. With none out and none on, Morales took a 1-1 changeup from Rays pitcher Dylan Floro for a called second strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the outer edge of home plate and at the knees (px -.951, pz 1.624 [sz_bot 1.5]), the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Royals were leading, 3-2. The Royals ultimately won the contest, 3-2.

This ejection was not officially reported during Tuesday's game when it occurred, but Torres filed a report following the event, including an allegation that Morales returned to field after his ejection. For this, MLB issued Morales a one-game suspension for returning to the field.
