MLB Ejection P1 - Manny Gonzalez (2; Eddie Rosario)

HP Umpire Manny Gonzalez ejected Twins LF Eddie Rosario (strike two call; QOCN) in the bottom of the 6th inning of the #Astros-#Twins game. With none out and none on, Rosario took a 3-1 fastball from Astros pitcher Cristian Javier for a called second strike before striking out swinging on a subsequent foul tip. Replays indicate the 3-1 pitch was located over the inner half of home plate and above the midpoint (px 0.40, pz 3.37 [sz_top 3.05 / RAD 3.17 / MOE 3.24]) (px -0.4, pz 3.37 [sz_top 3.15 / RAD 3.27 / MOE 3.34]), the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the game was tied. The Astros ultimately won the contest, 3-1, eliminating the Twins from the 2020 postseason.

This is Manny Gonzalez (79)'s second ejection of 2020.
Manny Gonzalez now has 1 point in the UEFL Standings (4 Prev + 3 MLB-Post - 6 QOCN-Post = 1).
Crew Chief Ron Kulpa now has 6 points in Crew Division (6 Previous + 0 Incorrect Call = 6).
*This pitch was located 1.56 vertical inches from being deemed correct.

This is the 82nd ejection report of 2020 and first of the 2020 MLB postseason.
This is the 37th player ejection of 2020. Prior to ejection, Rosario was 0-3 (SO) in the contest.
