TORONTO -- Edwin Encarnacion and manager John Gibbons didn't get to enjoy much of Canada Day, as both were ejected during the first inning of Friday afternoon's game against the Indians.
Encarnacion was tossed after he struck out looking in his first at-bat of the game. Toronto's veteran slugger took a pitch from right-hander Josh Tomlin and felt it was off the plate, but umpire Vic Carapazza clearly disagreed.
The 33-year-old Encarnacion dropped his bat and threw his hands into the air after Carapazza indicated it was strike three. The two exchanged words, and then Encarnacion was quickly ejected for the first time this season.
