DETROIT -- A cold afternoon at Comerica Park turned out to be a short one for Tigers manager Brad Ausmus, who was ejected from Saturday's game against the Yankees after apparently arguing balls and strikes with home-plate umpire Paul Emmel.
Ausmus' eighth career ejection in two-plus seasons as manager -- and his first of 2016 -- came in the top of the fifth inning after Carlos Beltran's two-run home run stretched the Yankees' lead to 8-2. Tigers reliever Buck Farmer was pitching to Starlin Castro when Emmel gave the thumb to Detroit's dugout.
