Braves manager Brian Snitker has just eight career ejections. Two of them have come in the first three games of the 2018 season.

Snitker was tossed in the bottom of the third on Saturday. He appeared to be arguing with the umpires that Phillies manager Gabe Kapler was stalling so reliever Hoby Milner could have more time to warm up.

The umpires have had a few moments in the series, including Friday night when the game was paused to due to a malfunction with the Phillies’ replay system.
