MLB Ejection 006 - CB Bucknor (1; Scott Servais)

1B Umpire CB Bucknor ejected Mariners Manager Scott Servais (fair vs foul ball call) in the bottom of the 6th inning of the Rangers-Mariners game. With two out and one on, Mariners batter Leonys Martin hit a 0-0 cutter from Rangers pitcher Tony Barnette on the ground and along the right field foul line to first baseman Mike Napoli, who fielded the grounder and stepped on first base to retire Martin, who hadn't left the home plate area. Replays indicate the batted ball bounded directly over first base, in fair territory, and did not appear to strike Martin in the batter's box (properly no-called by HP Umpire Mark Carlson), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Rangers were leading, 6-5. The Mariners ultimately won the contest, 8-7.
