Maddon ejected after losing challenge

MILWAUKEE -- The Cubs not only lost a challenge Sunday, but they lost manager Joe Maddon, who was ejected in the third inning.

Maddon was tossed after he questioned crew chief Hunter Wendelstedt following the review of a call.

With two outs in the Brewers third, Milwaukee had a runner at second when Adam Lind hit a ball to shortstop Starlin Castro. Castro made a diving stop, spun, and threw to first from his knees, and Lind was called safe. Maddon challenged the call, but after a review, it was confirmed.

Maddon came out of the dugout with his arms raised in a questioning gesture, and Wendelstedt then ejected the manager.
