Video: Adrian Beltre, Skipper Jeff Banister Get Tossed From Game
DETROIT (AP) - Adrian Beltre and Rangers manager Jeff Banister were both ejected in the fifth inning in an odd sequence.
Home plate umpire Adam Hamari ejected one of the two from the dugout, apparently for arguing balls and strikes. That brought Banister out of the dugout for a lengthy argument.
After he had returned to the bench, Beltre began arguing with first base umpire Ron Kulpa, and Banister traveled the length of the dugout to join in. At that point, Kulpa made the second ejection, bringing Banister back onto the field for a more heated argument.
