Overview
- Schaeffer was ejected after home plate umpire Ramon De Jesus called strike three on Tyler Freeman and he confronted the umpire by spiking his gum and hat into the dirt.
- Before his dismissal, Schaeffer knelt in the right-handed batter’s box and gestured above the ground to argue the location of the pitch.
- Brenton Doyle delivered an RBI double in the eighth inning and Orlando Arcia hit a ninth-inning home run to tie the game and force extra innings.
- Kyle Farmer produced the go-ahead RBI single in the 11th and reliever Tyler Kinley secured the final outs for the 4-3 victory.
- The win provided a rare bright spot for a Rockies team that began the season 18-65 under Bud Black and has gone 11-32 under Schaeffer’s interim leadership.
