MLB Ejection 117 - Phil Cuzzi (6; Miguel Sano)

HP Umpire Phil Cuzzi ejected Twins DH Miguel Sano (strike three call; QOCN) in the top of the 11th inning of the Twins-Athletics game. With two out and one on, Sano took a 2-2 cutter from A's pitcher Josh Smith for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the outer edge of home plate and above the knees (px .989, pz 1.781 [sz_bot 1.627]), the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 1-1. The A's ultimately won the contest, 6-5, in 12 innings.

This is Phil Cuzzi (10)'s sixth ejection of the 2017 MLB regular season.
Phil Cuzzi now has 5 points in the UEFL Standings (7 Prev + 2 MLB - 4 Incorrect Call = 5).
Crew Chief Tom Hallion now has 10 points in Crew Division (10 Previous + 0 Incorrect Call = 10).
