MILWAUKEE (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said he was trying to provide a spark when he and bench coach Daniel Descalso got ejected from Sunday’s game with the Milwaukee Brewers. The plan worked. The last-place Cardinals now hope it can provide a turning point to what has been a frustrating season up to this point. St. Louis trailed 3-1 in the third inning when Marmol and Descalso were ejected by home plate umpire Alan Porter following two missed calls by first-base umpire Sean Barber that the Cardinals successfully challenged. The Cardinals went on to win 4-3 to snap a seven-game skid.
