PHILADELPHIA — Phillies manager Rob Thomson was ejected by crew chief Dan Iassogna in the fourth inning of Saturday’s game against the Brewers after arguing a balk call against Jesús Luzardo.
Luzardo originally had the first out of the inning on a pickoff play, but the runner Brice Turang was called back to second on the balk call. It’s the fifth time Thomson has been ejected as Phillies manager.
It was all part of a lopsided 17-7 loss to the Brewers. The best Phillies pitching performance of the day came from Weston Wilson, who threw two shutout innings in the eighth and ninth innings.
