Francona ejected after arguing replay review

CLEVELAND -- Indians manager Terry Francona was ejected for the second time this season after arguing over a controversial replay review in the third inning against the Twins on Wednesday.

With two on and two out, Minnesota right fielder Max Kepler flared an offering from Trevor Bauer into right field. Lonnie Chisenhall came charging and made a diving play that appeared to be a catch for the final out. Instead, first-base umpire Jim Reynolds ruled the ball was trapped, giving Kepler a two-run single that extended the Twins' lead to 8-2.

Francona elected to challenge the ruling, and after one minute and 45 seconds, the call was upheld.
