MLB Ejection & Replay Review: Timmons, T Welke (2|3, 05)

HP Umpire Tim Timmons ejected Tigers 1B Miguel Cabrera and Manager Brad Ausmus for arguing a check swing (swing/strike) call and Instant Replay Review upheld 1B Umpire Tim Welke's out call in the top of the 6th inning of the Tigers-Indians game. With two out and one on, Tigers batter Miguel Cabrera attempted to check his swing on a 0-0 slider from Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco. Replays indicate Cabrera attempted to strike the pitch, Timmons' call was correct. At the time of the ejections, the contest was tied, 7-7.

One batter later, with two outs and two on, Tigers batter Victory Martinez hit a 2-1 changeup from Indians pitcher Carrasco on the ground to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, who threw to first baseman Nick Swisher as Martinez arrived at first base. Upon Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Tigers Acting Manager (Bench Coach) Gene Lamont, Welke's ruling was affirmed, the call was correct. At the time of the review, the contest was tied, 7-7. The Indians ultimately won the contest, 11-10, in 13 innings.
