Rockies manager Bud Black was ejected following the fourth inning of Colorado’s series opener against the Mets on Monday for arguing an out-of-the-base-path call at first base. The play that drew Black’s ire ended the Rockies’ offensive threat in the inning, as Gerardo Parra lined out to Mets first baseman Wilmer Flores with Trevor Story on first following a one-out walk. After Flores nabbed the liner, he just missed tagging out Story as the shortstop made his way back to the bag, taking a couple steps outside the line to remain safe. Per major league rules, a runner has three feet on either side of the base path to avoid the fielder from the established base path.
