Wieters ejected for arguing strikeout call

BALTIMORE -- Orioles catcher Matt Wieters was ejected in the bottom of the fifth inning for arguing a third-strike call with home-plate umpire Dan Bellino.

Wieters struck out with Baltimore trailing Toronto, 2-1, and the catcher uncharacteristically showed his emotions with Bellino and was thrown out shortly thereafter. Wieters, who has had both career ejections come against Toronto, left the field, and manager Buck Showalter angrily stormed out to have some words with Bellino.
