MLB Ejections 098-9 - Vic Carapazza (2-3; ARI x2)

HP Umpire Vic Carapazza ejected Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo (fighting) and 3B Josh Rojas (unsporting from dugout after warnings) in the bottom of the 3rd inning of the #Phillies-#Dbacks game. With none out and one on, D-backs batter Corbin Carroll took a 1-0 sinker from Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm for a hit-by-pitch, resulting in an argument from Lovullo that Strahm should be ejected, despite Lovullo admitting the HBP was not intentional. As Lovullo began arguing with the Phillies on-field players and dugout, a benches-clearing incident occurred, after which Crew Chief Jerry Layne issued warnings to both teams. Following the issuance of warnings and Diamondbacks batter Christian Walker's fly out to center field, 3B Rojas was ejected for continuing to engage in unsporting behavior from the dugout. At the time of the ejections, the Phillies were leading, 5-1. The Diamondbacks ultimately won the contest, 9-8.
