Jennings ejected for arguing strike call

MIAMI -- Marlins manager Dan Jennings earned his third ejection of the season in the bottom of the seventh inning of Monday afternoon's 9-1 loss to the Brewers at Marlins Park.

With Miami trailing, 9-1, the first-year manager was tossed by home-plate umpire Marvin Hudson with two outs after arguing Hudson's strike zone. The ejection occurred after Miami's Derek Dietrich took Strike 1 on a curveball from Milwaukee starter Zach Davies.

"It was just a little bit of a liberal strike zone for me," Jennings said. "I felt like he was expanding down below. We had a difference of opinion, I expressed it, and he did what he had to do and ran me. So that's over, and we'll be back tomorrow. Hopefully our mindset and at-bats will pick up."

Dietrich went on to fly out to center field to end the inning.
