HP Umpire Cory Blaser ejected Diamondbacks bench coach Jeff Banister and manager Torey Lovullo (ball two call; QOCY) in the bottom of the 9th inning of the #Dbacks-#Giants game. With two out and none on, Giants batter Thairo Estrada took a 1-2 fastball from Diamondbacks pitcher Ian Kennedy for a called second ball before tripling to right field.

At the time of Banister's ejection, the Diamondbacks were leading, 1-0. Lovullo was ejected after ensuing batter Brandon Crawford's walk-off home run; at the time of Lovullo's ejection, the Giants had won the ballgame, 2-1.
