De La Rosa heats up, cools off Pirates
De La Rosa's ejection 0:44 8/30/15: Jorge De La Rosa is ejected from the ballgame by the home-plate umpire during the bottom of the 7th inningBut, nearing his pitch ceiling, De La Rosa gave up a seventh-inning leadoff double to Aramis Ramirez. Only then did De La Rosa's performance go sideways.
De La Rosa (8-6, 4.40 ERA) used body language to express displeasure with home-plate umpire Jeff Nelson's call on the second pitch to Francisco Cervelli. Nelson had a gesture of his own, waving to say the pitch was outside. Cervelli would walk on four pitches. De La Rosa yelled at Nelson, earning an ejection as manager Walt Weiss was emerging from the dugout to remove him at 93 pitches.
