ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals were forced to finish Tuesday's game without MVP candidate Matt Carpenter, who was served his second ejection of the season after arguing a called third strike in the seventh inning.
With the Brewers leading, 7-4, Carpenter worked an 0-2 count even before laying off a curveball from Corey Knebel. Home-plate umpire Will Little called the pitch strike three.
Carpenter argued vehemently, and for good reason. Statcast™, which tracked the pitch to be both high and outside, corroborated his point of view.
