Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully sounded all sorts of disappointed Sunday afternoon when it became evident that left-hander Clayton Kershaw had been ejected in the seventh inning. The odd part about Kershaw's ejection by umpire Laz Diaz was that Kershaw had not even played against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He doesn't pitch until Monday night in the next series. Scully's call was funny: "It's not — don't tell me it's Clayton Kershaw!" It was. The plate umpire, Scott Barry, had just warned both teams about throwing purpose pitches after Arizona left-hander Oliver Perez hit Andre Ethier in the back with a 79 mph slider that didn't slide. The warning drew the ire of Dodgers manager Don Mattingly and others from the dugout, including Kershaw, who didn't think it was fair to be put on notice when it appeared Perez's pitch was accidental. Not to mention: The Dodgers hadn't done anything. Regardless, Barry ejected Mattingly after an argument. Moments later, Diaz — the crew chief — ran Kershaw after practically begging him to stop complaining.
