Twins Gardenhire Ejected Against Royals

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) ― Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire has been ejected in the sixth inning for arguing whether a ball hit Jason Kubel's foot in Monday night's game against Kansas City.

With one out in the sixth, Kubel hit a grounder that appeared to hit his foot. Home plate umpire Larry Vanover ruled the ball fair and Royals first baseman Mike Jacobs made the put out at first.

Gardenhire argued calmly for about a minute, then pulled off his hat and became heated when Vanover wouldn't check with third base ump Charlie Reliford to see if the ball hit Kubel's foot.

Gardenhire threw his hat down after being ejected and argued some more before leaving the field. It was his sixth ejection this season, 44th overall.
