MLB Ejection 040 - Jordan Baker (4; Brandon Lowe)

1B Umpire Jordan Baker ejected Pirates 2B Brandon Lowe (ABS challenge denial/called strike by HP Umpire Alex Tosi; QOCN) in the bottom of the 4th inning of the #Twins-#Pirates game. With none out and none on, Pirates batter Lowe took a 1-1 fastball from Twins pitcher Bailey Ober for a called second strike. Lowe attempted to challenge HP Umpire Alex Tosi's strike call, but the challenge request was died. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and below the hollow beneath the knee (px -0.43, pz 1.38 [sz_bot 1.56 / RAD 1.44 / MOE 1.40]), the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 7-7. The Pirates ultimately won the contest, 10-9.
