MLB Ejection 149 - Andy Fletcher (5; Bud Black)

HP Umpire Andy Fletcher ejected Rockies Manager Bud Black (balk call; QOCY) in the top of the 5th inning of the Dodgers-Rockies game. With one out and two on (R1, R2), Rockies pitcher Chris Rusin committed a balk, resulting in awards to the runners of second and third base. Replays indicate Rusin attempted to hold the runners via a false move in contravention of the balk rules prohibiting the illegal actions described in Official Baseball Rule 6.02(a), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 2-2. The Dodgers ultimately won the contest, 4-2.
