MLB Ejection 136 - Hunter Wendelstedt (3; Clint Hurdle)

HP Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt ejected Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle (strike three call; QOCY) in the top of the 1st inning of the Pirates-Mets game. With two out and none on, Pirates batter Starling Marte took a 1-2 sinker from Mets pitcher Steven Matz for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner edge of home plate and at the waist (px -0.80, pz 2.66) and that all other pitches during the at-bat were properly officiated, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 0-0. The Mets ultimately won the contest, 3-0.
