MINNESOTA -- Twins outfielder Torii Hunter was ejected for arguing after being called out on strikes in the eighth inning and manager Paul Molitor also was run by home-plate umpire Mark Ripperger as the Royals completed a three-game sweep with a 7-2 win on Wednesday night at Target Field.
It was the ninth career ejection for Hunter, who then proceeded to fire his batting gloves and jersey onto the field. Molitor's ejection was his first as skipper.
