MLB Ejection 094 - Todd Tichenor (4; Clayton McCullough)

3B Umpire Todd Tichenor ejected Marlins manager Clayton McCullough (Replay Review decision overturning 1B Shane Livensparger's foul ball/runner placement call) in the top of the 7th inning of the #Phillies-#Marlins game. With two out and the bases loaded, Marlins batter Javier Sanoja hit a 0-2 slider from Phillies pitcher Jonathan Bowlan on a line drive down the right field line, ruled foul by 1B Umpire Livensparger and overturned to fair upon Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Marlins manager McCullough. Replays indicate the batted ball landed in fair territory in right field before being fielded by outfielder Bryce Harper, but is inconclusive as to the placement of Marlins baserunner R1 Otto Lopez at third base, the call was irrecusable. At the time of the ejection, the Phillies were leading, 4-3. The Phillies ultimately won the contest, 6-5.
