Blue Jays' Stroman, Martin, Gibbons ejected vs. A's
Jul 27, 2017 - 7:12 PM Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman and catcher Russell Martin were ejected during the fifth inning of Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics for arguing balls and strikes.Blue Jays manager John Gibbons also was ejected by home plate umpire Will Little.
Gibbons was in the dugout when he was ejected after Little called a pitch a ball against Athletics batter Bruce Maxwell. Gibbons came out of the dugout to argue before departing with his fourth ejection.
After Maxwell walked -- the sixth of the day allowed by Stroman -- an argument erupted. Stroman stormed from the mound and Martin restrained him as he attempted to get at the umpire. Stroman was ushered from the field by a coach and Martin eventually left after talking to the umpires.
Miguel Montero replaced Martin behind the plate and Chris Smith took Stroman's spot on the mound.
Stroman allowed three runs, six hits and six walks in 4 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out four.
