Cabrera?s ejection -- mistaken identity?

As is the case with many ejections, Cabrera's didn't happen in a vacuum. According to the Tigers designated hitter, he was tossed after having at least one exchange with home-plate umpire Alfonso Marquez earlier in the game, after Cabrera expressed displeasure with what he perceived as Marquez's inconsistent strike zone.
To add to the drama of the incident, Cabrera insisted that he was actually talking to Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, and not Marquez, prior to being ejected. Cabrera indicated his comments were directed toward his Astros counterpart, not the umpire.

Marquez was unquestionably on the receiving end of previous conversations, however.

"He said he warned me three times," Cabrera said, referring to the moment when Marquez threw him out.

During an earlier at-bat, Cabrera told the umpire he needs to "call the same pitch to the other team." That's when Marquez, according to Cabrera, said to the DH, "You want me to throw you out?"

"I said, 'If you think that's the reason to throw me out, throw me out,'" Cabrera recalled.

There was a combined no hitter in St. Louis through 7 2/3 but Milwaukee got a double.

I do not accept the concept of a combined no-hitter.
