San Diego Padres have three ejected in lopsided loss to Rockies

The San Diego Padres lost another game on Saturday, but this time they had some help thanks to a questionable strike zone from home plate umpire Bill Welke.

San Diego surrendered 14 runs against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field—while shortstop Manny Machado, reliever Matt Strahm and manager Andy Green finished the game watching from the locker room.

Machado was ejected by Welke in the fifth inning, followed by Strahm and Green in the sixth. All three ejections had to do with arguing over Welke’s strike zone—although Strahm didn’t actually say anything about it.
