MLB Ejection 050 - John Libka (1; Torey Lovullo)

HP Umpire John Libka ejected Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo (ball three call; QOCY) in the top of the 5th inning of the #Braves-#Diamondbacks game. With none out and none on, Braves batter Ronald Acuna took a 2-1 fastball from D-Backs pitcher Zac Gallen for a called third ball before walking one pitch later. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the outer edge of home plate and at the knee (px 0.78, pz 1.98 [sz_bot 1.60]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Diamondbacks were leading, 3-2. The Diamondbacks ultimately won the contest, 6-2.

This is John Libka (84)'s 1st ejection of 2022.
John Libka now has 5 points in the UEFL Standings (1 Prev + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 5).
