HP Umpire Alfonso Marquez ejected Blue Jays pitcher Jon Rauch for arguing a safe call and Manager John Farrell for Unsportsmanlike-NEC in the top of the 9th inning of the Phillies-Blue Jays game. With two out and two on, Phillies batter Shane Victorino hit a 0-0 fastball from Rauch to Blue Jays left fielder Corey Patterson, who threw to catcher J.P.
