Gibbons ejected from middle game with Yanks

NEW YORK -- Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was ejected from Saturday afternoon's game against the Yankees for arguing with home-plate umpire Greg Gibson.

Gibbons went onto the field after the top of the third inning to talk with Gibson. The conversation was brief, as Gibson quickly tossed Toronto's manager for apparently arguing balls and strikes.

The ejection came a few seconds after Toronto third baseman Josh Donaldson struck out to end the third. Donaldson struck out swinging, but he took a pitch earlier in the at-bat that was called a strike, which he didn't agree with.
