After clawing back from a deficit to take the lead, the Los Angeles Dodgers saw a ninth inning unlike most others this season. Kenley Jansen failed to retire the first two batters faced, and Chase Utley was ejected by second-base umpire Ramon De Jesus.
Trouble arose when Utley approached De Jesus at second base and asked that he move his positioning by the bag. “I asked him to move a few different times through the course of the game,” Utley later said.
De Jesus declined Utley’s request, the two appeared to briefly exchange words and Utley was ejected with one out in the inning.
