Melvin, Fuld tossed after interference call

BALTIMORE -- A's manager Bob Melvin and outfielder Sam Fuld were ejected by home-plate umpire Brian Knight in the middle of the fifth inning at Camden Yards on Monday night.

Fuld was called out to end the top of the fifth on batter's interference after a throw on his bunt hit him inside the baseline.

A small group of A's players, led by Fuld, was seen arguing with Knight at home plate shortly thereafter, and Fuld was promptly ejected. That brought Melvin out from the dugout, and it didn't take long before he, too, was tossed.
