MLB Ejection 092 - Bill Miller (2; Lorenzo Cain)

HP Umpire Bill Miller ejected Royals CF Lorenzo Cain (strike three call) in the top of the 7th inning of the Royals-Dodgers game. With one out and the bases loaded, Cain took a 2-2 fastball from Dodgers pitcher Pedro Baez for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the outer edge of home plate and thigh-high (px 1.108, pz 2.903), the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 3-3. The Dodgers ultimately won the contest, 5-4, in 10 innings.
