PHOENIX -- Pat Murphy was one frustrated manager when the Padres' bullpen blew a two-run lead and allowed five runs to the D-backs during the bottom of the seventh Tuesday night in a 6-4 loss at Chase Field.
Murphy then allowed it to boil over as he stood astounded in the dugout in the top of the eighth as pinch-hitter Brett Wallace took what the manager thought was ball four from Brad Ziegler with two out and the tying runs on base.
Murphy was ejected by home plate umpire Alfonso Marquez for the fifth time since he replaced Bud Black on June 16 -- before he could even take a step on the field.
