2B Umpire Andy Fletcher ejected Twins Manager Ron Gardenhire for arguing an out call in the bottom of the 6th inning of the Angels-Twins game. With two out and one on and a 2-2 count to Twins batter Alexi Casilla, Angels pitcher Jered Weaver picked off Twins runner Denard Span at second base on a throw to shortstop Erick Aybar. Replays indicate that Aybar tagged Span before touching second base. Span's hand on the head first slide was blocked by Aybar's foot. The call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 0-0. The Twins ultimately won the contest, 1-0, in 10 innings.
This is Andy Fletcher (49)'s second ejection of 2011.
