HP Umpire Angel Hernandez ejected Mets P Stolmy Pimentel for throwing at Cardinals batter Jonathan Rodriguez in the top of the 6th inning of the Cardinals-Mets game. With one out and none on, Rodriguez took a 0-0 fastball from Pimentel for a hit-by-pitch; Pimentel had surrendered a home run during the preceding at bat and previously generated warnings for HBP as a pitcher in 2013 and 2014. Replays indicate the pitch was located inside and struck Rodriguez squarely in the lower back, the call was irrecusable. At the time of the ejection, the Cardinals were leading, 11-6. The Cardinals ultimately won the contest, 14-9.
