LOS ANGELES -- Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon was ejected for arguing with umpire Mike Winters after a call at the plate was overturned by video review in the seventh inning of the opening game of the NL Championship Series on Saturday night

With one out and Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Charlie Culberson on second base, Justin Turner singled to left field. Kyle Schwarber threw to home plate, where catcher Willson Contreras stuck out his left leg as Culberson tried to get his hand around him in an attempt to score.
