St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol was ejected in the eighth inning for arguing a controversial ABS challenge. Concerns arose when Minnesota Twins batter Austin Martin successfully challenged a strike call that Marmol believed was too late, as the rules dictate a two-second window for the challenge. Marmol's animated discussion with the home-plate umpire was cut short, resulting in his ejection.
