HP Umpire Manny Gonzalez ejected Diamondbacks 3B Eduardo Escobar and manager Torey Lovullo (strike two call; QOCY) in the top of the 7th inning of the #Dbacks-#Mets game.

Replays indicate the 1-1 pitch was located over the heart of home plate and at the hollow of the knee (px -0.04, pz 1.31 [sz_bot 1.50 / RAD 1.38 / MOE 1.29]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejections the Mets were leading, 3-1. The Mets ultimately won the contest, 4-2.
