Dodgers News: Justin Turner ‘Not Really Sure What Happened’ With Ejection By Umpire Chad Fairchild

Several innings before Walker Buehler set a career high with 16 strikeouts in his first complete game and Matt Beaty hit a walk-off home run, the Los Angeles Dodgers lost Justin Turner because he was ejected by home-plate umpire Chad Fairchild.

It occurred after Turner grounded out to lead off the fourth inning. The pitch before, which appeared off the outside corner and below the zone, was called for strike.

Turner calmly had a brief conversation with Fairchild before stepping back into the batter’s box. German Marquez went back to that spot, which required Turner to swing due to being down 0-2 in the count.
