The Canada Day fireworks came early at the Rogers Centre on Friday afternoon.
Blue Jays designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion was ejected in the bottom of the first inning against the Cleveland Indians after he was called out on strikes by home plate umpire Vic Carapazza. Encarnacion didn’t like the third-strike call, argued, and was tossed.
Encarnacion might have bumped Carapazza, so a suspension could be coming.
The Encarnacion ejection brought out an irate John Gibbons. He didn’t last long either, and was thrown out for the sixth time this season when he got in Carapazza’s face.
