Ejections: Mark Wegner (1)

HP Umpire Mark Wegner ejected Rockies Manager Jim Tracy for arguing an out call to end the bottom of the 3rd inning of the Diamondbacks-Rockies game. With two out and two on, Rockies batter Troy Tulowitzki took a 0-2 fastball from Diamondbacks pitcher Joe Saunders for a called first ball. Replays indicate the ball squirted away from Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero, who quickly gathered the ball and tossed to Saunders as Rockies R3 Dexter Fowler attempted to advance to home plate. Replays indicate Saunders applied the tag as Fowler failed to touch home plate, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 1-1. The Diamondbacks ultimately won the contest, 5-2.

This is Mark Wegner (47)'s first ejection of 2011.
