ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -Rangers manager Ron Washington was ejected from Monday night’s game against the New York Yankees for protesting two balk calls in the fifth inning against Texas starter Vicente Padilla.
The first balk, called by second base umpire Bob Davidson, advanced Johnny Damon from first to second. Damon went to third on a groundout, then was waved home to give the Yankees a 4-2 lead when first base umpire Alfonso Marquez called another balk on Padilla.
Washington rushed from the dugout to argue with Marquez after the second balk. Following an animated discussion, Washington was tossed for the third time this season.
