HP Umpire Todd Tichenor ejected Rangers manager Bruce Bochy (fair ball call by 3B Umpire Nestor Ceja; QOCY) in the top of the 8th inning of the #Rangers-#Tigers game. With two out and two on, Rangers batter Adolis García hit a 1-1 splitter from Tigers pitcher Shelby Miller on the ground to third base, fielded by third baseman Gio Urshela and ruled fair by Ceja; García was retired at first base after he didn't initially run during the play.

The Rangers ultimately won the contest, 9-7.
