Notes & reviews

when the fourth pitch to Bryan Petersen was called a ball, Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez yelled from the dugout about the call; HP umpire Hunter Wendelstedt motioned and yelled back that it was a couple of inches inside; when Gonzalez continued to argue, he was ejected by Wendelstedt
Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was not happy with the check swing call for strike three ruled by HP umpire Hunter Wendelstedt; Freeman tossed his helmet towards the dugout as he walked away and Wendelstedt pointed at him; when Freeman then tossed his bat in the same direction, he was ejected by Wendelstedt
