MILWAUKEE -- St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol and bench coach Daniel Descalso were ejected from Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers after the Cardinals successfully challenged two separate calls at first base.

The first replay challenge turned a fielder's choice into an inning-ending double play in the bottom of the second. First-base umpire Sean Barber had ruled that Milwaukee's Brice Turang was safe at first, but replays showed the throw from shortstop Brandon Crawford beat him to the bag.

In the top of the third, Barber ruled that St. Louis' Ivan Herrera was out at first on an apparent inning-ending double play. The Cardinals challenged the call again, and replays showed Herrera was safe, turning the double play into a fielder's choice.

Descalso and Marmol argued about the two missed initial calls and were ejected by plate umpire Alan Porter. The Cardinals were trailing 3-1 at the time, and hitting coach Turner Ward managed the team for the rest of the game.

This last-place Cardinals rallied Sunday to end a seven-game losing streak and avoid getting swept in a four-game series for the first time since June 2021.

Marmol said after the game he was merely trying to fire up his team and didn't have a problem with the umpiring crew.

"Alan Porter and Sean Barber are good umpires," Marmol said. "That had more to do with getting something going. Those guys do a nice job. Their job is tough. But at times, you've just got to -- a little skid -- get something going. I don't have anything against that group."
