CINCINNATI (AP) – St. Louis Cardinals pitcher John Lackey has been ejected from his start against the Cincinnati Reds in the third inning.
Lackey appeared to question several ball-strike calls by plate umpire Tom Hallion before a 2-1 pitch to Brayan Pena was called a ball with the score 2-all on Wednesday night.
The right-hander apparently questioned that call, and Hallion – the crew chief – ejected him.
Lackey allowed four hits and two runs with two walks and one strikeout. Left-hander Tyler Lyons replaced him.
