1B Umpire Ed Rapuano ejected Tigers Manager Jim Leyland for arguing an out call in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Blue Jays-Tigers game. With none out and one on, Tigers batter Andy Dirks bunted a 1-0 fastball from Blue Jays pitcher Jason Frasor for a sacrifice bunt, second baseman Aaron Hill to first baseman Adam Lind. Rapuano initially indicated Dirks was safe, but after a brief consultation with HP Umpire Alfonso Marquez, Rapuano changed his call to out. Replays indicate Lind received the ball and tagged first base prior to Dirks' arrival, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 2-2. The Tigers ultimately won the contest, 4-2.
