The Atlanta Braves dumped the Pittsburgh Pirates Monday night 5-2 on WESB. David Freese and Pirates manager Clint Hurdle were ejected by plate umpire Phil Cuzzi in the fourth. Freese didn’t like a called third strike by Cuzzi and, with John Jaso at the plate, was still yelling at the umpire from the bench when he was ejected. Hurdle then charged out of the dugout and was quickly tossed. Gerrit Cole took the loss for the Bucs after throwing 31 pitches in the first inning. Cole allowed five runs on 10 hits in four plus innings. John Jaso had an RBI double and was 2 for 4 on the night.
