MLB Ejection 159 - Mark Carlson (2; Kevin Cash)

HP Umpire Mark Carlson ejected Rays Manager Kevin Cash (balk call by 3B Umpire Carlos Torres; QOCY) in the top of the 8th inning of the Indians-Rays game. With one out and one on (R1), Rays pitcher Vidal Nuno committed a balk, resulting in an award to baserunner R1 Michael Brantley of second base. Replays indicate Nuno failed to complete delivery after beginning his motion to pitch in an illegal throw and (non-)step to first base, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Indians were leading, 2-0. The Indians ultimately won the contest, 2-0.

This is Mark Carlson (6)'s second ejection of 2018.
Mark Carlson now has 1 point in the UEFL Standings (-2 Prev + 2 MLB + 1 Correct-Crewmate = 1).
