Ejection in Queens: In this evening's game between the Oakland Athletics and the New York Mets, Mets starting catcher Paul Lo Duca was ejected by home plate umpire Marvin Hudson in the middle of Lo Duca's at bat in the bottom of the 6th inning. At the time of the ejection, Lo Duca had two strikes. Mets back-up catcher Ramon Castro came into the game facing a count of 0-2 and, on the very next pitch, struck out swinging. Under the applicable Major League Baseball scorekeeping rules, Lo Duca is charged with the at bat and the strikeout. It was Lo Duca's second and final strikeout of the game.
