MLB Ejection 137 - Nestor Ceja (2; Mike Ford)

HP Umpire Nestor Ceja ejected Mariners DH Mike Ford (strike three call; QOCY) in the top of the 7th inning of the #Mariners-#Astros game. With none out and one on, Ford took a 3-2 fastball from Astros pitcher Seth Martinez for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer edge of home plate and above the hollow of the knee (px -0.89, pz 1.84 [sz_bot 1.56]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Mariners were leading, 4-0. The Mariners ultimately won the contest, 5-1.
