Ejection in Cincinnati! The Cincinnati Reds are hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight. In the bottom of the 7th inning with two outs, Reds center fielder Ryan Freel attempted to bunt for a single but was called out at first base by first base umpire Chad Fairchild -- a 2007 minor league call-up umpire.

Freel did not like the call, and before play resumed in the top of the 8th inning Fairchild ejected Freel from the game. At the time of the ejection, the Reds were leading 4-1. Since then, the Diamondbacks have tied the game 4-4.
