HP Umpire Chris Guccione ejected Angels Manager Mike Scioscia for arguing a check swing call in the top of the 6th inning of the Angels-Yankees game. With two out and three on, Angels batter Jeff Mathis was ruled to have swung on a 0-0 knuckle curve from Yankees pitcher A.J. Burnett for strike one. Replays indicate Mathis was unable to check his swing and made an attempt to strike the ball, the call was correct. Mathis hit the next pitch for a two-run ground-rule double. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 1-1. The Angels ultimately won the contest, 6-4.
