Ejections in Miami! The Cleveland Indians are at the Florida Marlins tonight, and home plate umpire Brian Knight in the sixth inning ejected Marlins pitcher Taylor Tankersley and Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez for Tankersley's having hit Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore with a pitch, his third pitch of the night on an 0-2 count. For good measure, Knight also ejected Marlins first baseman Aaron Boone for excessive mouthing-off related to the same incident. That's three ejections by Brian Knight -- a 2007 minor league call-up umpire -- this evening. You can access the box score at this link. Adjust your umpire fantasy league standings accordingly.
