Cardinals manager Oli Marmol ejected after dispute over pitcher's hat

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol was ejected from Friday night's game against the Colorado Rockies following a dispute with home plate umpire Doug Eddings. The incident began when Eddings directed rookie reliever Hancel Rincon to straighten his hat after the Rockies catcher, Hunter Goodman, questioned the pitcher's uniform. Rincon complied with the request but subsequently allowed three consecutive baserunners during his major league debut. Marmol questioned the umpire regarding the exchange after a pitching change, leading to a pitch-clock violation and an eventual ejection. Marmol labeled the incident embarrassing for the league, while Eddings stated he was responding to a request from the opposing catcher. The Cardinals concluded the game with a 7-6 win.
