CLEVELAND -- Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann was ejected for the first time in his career Wednesday after arguing balls and strikes with home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott.
McCann was furious after Tigers pitcher Buck Farmer didn't get a strike call on a 3-2 pitch to Jay Bruce in the third inning.
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus was ejected moments later as he defended McCann.
John Hicks entered the game as catcher while bench coach Gene Lamont will serve as acting manager.
Ausmus has been ejected 16 times in his managerial career, including six times in 2017.
