LOS ANGELES -- A heated argument over an umpire's interpretation of an obstruction rule prompted Dave Roberts' first ejection of the season and, in his mind, triggered the five-run sixth inning that cost his Los Angeles Dodgers the game.
"He got it wrong," Roberts said after the Dodgers' 9-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night. "That's just a fact. Umpiring is hard. They do a great job. Tonight, that play affected the game."
The Phillies trailed 4-3 when Brandon Marsh squared to bunt with none out and a runner on second in the top of the sixth.
