MLB Ejection 059 - Brian Knight (2; Chris Sale)

HP Umpire Brian Knight ejected Red Sox P Chris Sale (balls/strikes; QOCY) in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Red Sox-Orioles game. With none out and none on, Orioles batters Mark Trumbo and Craig Gentry walked in consecutive at-bats. Replays indicate of the 10 callable pitches thrown by Sale during these two at-bats prior to his ejection, all 10 were properly officiated (accuracy = 100%), including the final pitch of the Gentry at-bat, which was located off the outer edge of home plate and thigh-high (px 1.200, pz 2.695), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Red Sox were leading, 5-0. The Red Sox ultimately won the contest, 5-1.

This is Brian Knight (91)'s second ejection of 2018.
Brian Knight now has 8 points in the UEFL Standings (4 Prev + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 8).
