Ejection in Boston as 'Big Papi' says bye-bye! The Boston Red Sox are hosting the San Francisco Giants this evening, but Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz will be limited to just one at bat as home plate umpire Tony Randazzo tossed Ortiz for arguing strike three in the bottom of the first inning. As the box score indicates, the Red Sox had managed to tie the game 2-2 before the ejection, and as of this moment the Sox have jumped out to a 6-2 lead.

Credit Tony Randazzo with one ejection and adjust your umpire fantasy league standings accordingly.

Update: At The Boston Globe's "Extra Bases" blog, Amalie Benjamin provides additional coverage in posts titled "Ortiz gone!" and "Ortiz's ejections." Also, you can access a related photo at this link.
