Dave Roberts Doesn’t Believe Umpires Traveling With Dodgers Was Factor In Ejections

The Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t put together their sharpest effort against the Seattle Mariners, yet still had an opportunity to steal the game late as they loaded the bases in the ninth inning.

Corey Seager struck out swinging to end the game, with the 6-4 defeat snapping the Dodgers’ season-best winning streak at seven games. In addition to suffering a loss, the Dodgers finished the game without manager Dave Roberts, hitting coach Robert Van Scoyoc and Max Muncy.

Each was ejected by home-plate umpire Mark Ripperger in the sixth inning for arguing balls and strikes.
