Josh Donaldson knows how to get ejected in style.
The third baseman brought the drama in the sixth inning of Thursday's Twins-White Sox game when he launched a a 381-foot leadoff home run off Reynaldo López, breaking a 2–2 tie. In case the homer wasn't enough, Donaldson sent a message by kicking dirt on home plate shortly after rounding the bases. Home plate umpire Dan Bellino didn't care for Donaldson's antics and tossed him.
Bellino and Donaldson's exchange started one pitch before the 34-year-old's home run, when Donaldson disagreed with the umpire's strike call.
