Nico Hoerner watched a two-strike fastball from Tigers righty Jack Flaherty zip low and inside, and the Cubs second baseman was caught by surprise when the pitch was called for an ill-timed strikeout.

Nico Hoerner’s ejection was criticized by many, and the ridiculous reason was captured by a hot-mic during the game.
