After the Los Angeles Dodgers put the tying run on to lead off the bottom of the eighth inning, they were stopped in their tracks by more egregious strike calling by home-plate umpire Dan Iassogna.
Cody Bellinger protested two calls in his at-bat and angrily stormed toward the dugout after taking strike three — a legitimate pitch that was in the zone. A.J. Pollock grounded into an inning-ending double play, and any thought of a rally suddenly washed away.
Bellinger returned to the top step of the dugout for more protesting and was immediately ejected — the first of his Major League career.
