HP Umpire Tim Timmons ejected Royals P Edinson Volquez for arguing a time out call (Unsportsmanlike-NEC) in the top of the 3rd inning of the Cardinals-Royals game. With two out and none on, Cardinals batter Matt Adams requested and was granted time out as Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura prepared to deliver a 0-1 pitch.

The Cardinals ultimately won the contest, 8-4.

HP Umpire Sam Holbrook ejected Royals P Yordano Ventura, P Edinson Volquez, CF Lorenzo Cain, and White Sox P Chris Sale and P Jeff Samardzija for fighting in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Royals-White Sox game. With two out and none on, White Sox batter Adam Eaton hit a 0-1 fastball from Ventura on the ground to Ventura, who threw to first baseman Eric Hosmer for the inning's third out.

At the time of the ejections, the game was tied, 2-2.
