Hat-spotlight clash: Marmol ejected as Rincon debuts for Cardinals

In a 7-6 win over the Rockies at Coors Field, home-plate umpire Doug Eddings told Cardinals rookie reliever Hancel Rincon to fix his hat during his MLB debut, prompting manager Oli Marmol to sprint out and be ejected after defending Rincon; Rincon was briefly in the game before Justin Bruihl came on, and Marmol’s ejection came amid a sequence that also included a pitch-clock violation. Carrigg followed with an inside-the-park homer three pitches later, and commentators criticized the umpire’s actions as overreaching.
