ST. PETERSBURG — Maybe Kevin Cash should get ejected every game.
Well, probably not.
But after home plate umpire Bruce Dreckman ejected Cash in the bottom of the second inning for arguing balls and strikes, the Rays went on to a 6-2 victory against the Texas Rangers before an announced crowd of 11,234.
Cash’s ejection marked only the ninth time in his Rays managerial career — and the first time this season — an umpire sent him to the showers early. Bench coach Matt Quatraro took over and the Rays erased a one-run deficit to improve to 48-36 and remain in second place in the AL East.
