MLB Ejection 171: Tim Timmons (4; Brett Gardner)

HP Umpire Tim Timmons ejected Yankees LF Brett Gardner for arguing a strike three call in the bottom of the 5th inning of the Red Sox-Yankees game. With two out and three on, Gardner took a 2-2 fastball from Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the inner edge of home plate and thigh high (px -1.236, pz 2.421), the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Red Sox were leading, 7-3. The Red Sox ultimately won the contest, 9-4.

This is Tim Timmons (95)'s fourth ejection of the 2014 season.
Tim Timmons now has 14 points in the UEFL Standings (16 Prev + 2 MLB - 4 Incorrect Call = 14).
Crew Chief Tim Welke now has 12 points in the Crew Division (12 Previous + 0 Incorrect Call = 12).

This is the 171st ejection of the 2014 MLB Regular Season.
This is the 71st player ejection of 2014. Prior to ejection, Gardner was 0-3 in the contest.
This is the Yankees' 8th ejection of 2014, 3rd in the AL East (BOS 13; TB 10; NYY 8; TOR 5; BAL 3).
This is Brett Gardner's first ejection since July 19, 2013 (Mike Everitt; QOC = N [Balls/Strikes]).
This is Tim Timmons' first ejection since May 21, 2014 (Cabrera/Ausmus; QOC = Y [Check Swing]).
