Overview

• In the sixth inning, Matt Olson popped up near the first-base line as Pirates catcher Henry Davis made contact with him near the batter's box and dropped the ball.
• Home plate umpire Brock Ballou ruled batter’s interference on Olson for impeding Davis’ attempt to make the catch, resulting in an out.
• Brian Snitker argued with Ballou and Wegner and was ejected; Olson was tossed by Ballou between the sixth and seventh innings for continuing to argue from the dugout.
• Olson said after reviewing video that he stayed in the batter’s box, and his dismissal was the first ejection of his 1,222-game MLB career.
• The Braves lost 3-1 to Pittsburgh, and there were no reports of further discipline or an official review beyond on-field explanations.
