HP Umpire Mike Estabrook ejected Marlins SS Miguel Rojas and Manager Don Mattingly (strike three call; QOCY) in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Nationals-Marlins game. With none out and one on (R1), Rojas took a 1-2 slider from Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner edge of home plate and thigh-high (px -0.81, pz 1.79 [sz_bot 1.59]) and that all pitches during the at-bat were properly officiated, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Nationals were leading, 6-1. The Nationals ultimately won the contest, 6-1.
These are Mike Estabrook (83)'s seventh and eighth ejections of 2019.
