Ejections: Tim Timmons (1)

HP Umpire Tim Timmons ejected Padres third basemen Chase Headley for arguing a strike two call in the top of the 9th inning of the Padres-Giants game. With one out and none on, Headley took an 0-1 fastball from Giants pitcher Guillermo Mota for a called second strike. Headley subsequently struck out swinging on the next pitch.

Interesting spot to get yourself run... Up by 3 in the ninth... Tempers flair during day games no doubt about it!

I love the Padre announcers "He walked away. said something and that's ok"

Anonymous, unfortunately we don't have video of this ejection. At the 14 minute mark of the condensed game you can see Headley slam his bat down after making the 2nd out though. Not as to the strike call in question or the actual ejection though.
