MLB Ejection 009 - Alan Porter (2; Paul Molitor)

HP Umpire Alan Porter ejected Twins Manager Paul Molitor (check swing strike three call) in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Indians-Twins game. With two out and one on (R1), Twins batter Jason Castro attempted to check his swing on a 1-2 slider from Indians pitcher Andrew Miller, ruled a swinging strike by Porter. Play reviewed and adjudicated by the UEFL Appeals Board, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Indians were leading, 4-2. The Indians ultimately won the contest, 6-2.

This is Alan Porter (64)'s second ejection of the 2017 MLB regular season.
Alan Porter now has 8 points in the UEFL Standings (4 Previous + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 8).

This is the ninth ejection report of 2017.
