MILWAUKEE (AP) — St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol and bench coach Daniel Descalso were ejected from Sunday’s game with the Milwaukee Brewers after the Cardinals successfully challenged two separate calls at first base.
The first replay challenge turned a fielder’s choice into an inning-ending double play in the bottom of the second. First-base umpire Sean Barber had ruled that Milwaukee’s Brice Turang was safe at first, but replays showed the throw from shortstop Brandon Crawford beat him to the bag.
In the top of the third, Barber ruled that St. Louis’ Iván Herrera was out at first on an apparent inning-ending double play. The Cardinals challenged the call again, and replays showed Herrera was safe at first, turning the double play into a fielder’s choice.
Descalso and Marmol argued about the two missed initial calls and were ejected by home plate umpire Alan Porter.
