What an eventful series it has been for the St. Louis Cardinals against the Baltimore Orioles. On Tuesday night, Lars Nootbaar was ejected for arguing with the home plate umpire during a Paul Goldschmidt at-bat, and the game was postponed due to inclement weather. That game was made up on Wednesday, with the Cardinals winning 3-1. But the day was not over.

In the bottom of the third inning, Cardinals manager Oli Marmol was ejected for arguing balls and strikes with home plate umpire Charlie Ramos during a Goldschmidt at-bat. One inning late, the game would, you guessed it, enter a rain delay!

Talk about deja vu.

The Cardinals entered the rain delay trailing 3-0 after following RBI singles by Gunnar Henderson and Anthony Santander, and James McCann scoring on a groundout by Ryan O'Hearn.
