MLB Ejection 123 - Roberto Ortiz (4; Don Kelly)

HP Umpire Roberto Ortiz ejected Pirates manager Don Kelly (strike three call to Jack Suwinski; QOCN) in the top of the 5th inning of the #Pirates-#Brewers game. With none out and none on, Pirates batter Suwinski took a 2-2 fastball from Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta for a called third strike.
