MLB Ejection 116 - Nestor Ceja (1; Mauricio Dubón)

HP Umpire Nestor Ceja ejected Astros PH Mauricio Dubón (Replay Review decision that upheld 1B Umpire Carlos Torres' out call) in the bottom of the 9th inning of the #Rangers-#Astros game. With two out and one on, Astros batter Dubón hit a 1-2 knuckle curve from Rangers pitcher David Robertson on the ground to shortstop Corey Seager, who threw to first baseman Nathaniel Lowe as Dubón arrived at first base, ruled out by 1B Umpire Torres. Upon Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Astros manager Joe Espada, Torres' out call stood. Replays do not conclusively indicate whether or not Dubón was out at first base, the call stands was correct. At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 1-1. The Rangers ultimately won the contest, 2-1, in 10 innings.
