HP Umpire Phil Cuzzi ejected Reds RF Will Benson for arguing a strike three call to end the top of the 8th inning in a game Cincinnati defeated St Louis, 19-2. Cuzzi was walking away and appealed to manager David Bell before a final interjection from Benson resulted in dismissal. Report: https://www.closecallsports.com/2023/...

Cincinnati ran out of bench players and had to substitute the designated hitter Nick Martini into right field to take over for the ejected Benson, invoking the now-seldom rule whereby a team loses its DH for the rest of the game if the DH plays in the field.
