Counsell ejected after controversial review

MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers thought they'd scored their first run in 18 innings. When they were denied, tempers flared at Miller Park on Friday.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell was ejected for the first time this season and the sixth time in his three-year managerial career after Eric Thames was called out trying to score the tying run on a wild pitch in the sixth inning of a 1-0 game against the D-backs. Counsell challenged plate umpire Jim Reynolds' initial call, which stood after a 1 minute, 59 second review.

After Reynolds announced the decision from Major League Baseball's replay center in New York, Counsell jumped out of the dugout and shouted toward Reynolds.
