Ejections: Jerry Layne (3)

3B Umpire Jerry Layne ejected Mets Manager Terry Collins for arguing an out call in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Yankees-Mets game. With none out and one on, Mets batter Justin Turner hit a fly ball to Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson. Mets R1 Jose Reyes tagged from first base to second, and continued to third and was ruled out on a throw from Yankees shortstop Eduardo Nunez to third basemen Alex Rodriguez. Replays indicate that Rodriguez missed tagging Reyes on the swipe tag attempt, the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Yankees were leading, 3-1. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 5-1.
