HP Umpire Lance Barksdale ejected Cubs pitcher Keegan Thompson for throwing at Brewers batter Andrew McCutchen during a 9-0 Chicago victory over Milwaukee. Report: https://www.closecallsports.com/2022/04/mlb-ejection-003-lance-barksdale-1.html Several Cubs batters had been hit by pitches earlier in the game; no warnings had previously been issued. The intentional hit-by-pitch of McCutchen resulted in a benches-clearing incident for the second day in a row; two-thirds of the young MLB season have occurred on a day that featured a benches-clearing event.
