Pre-Season Ejection 002: D.J. Reyburn (1)

HP Umpire D.J. Reyburn ejected Mets Manager Terry Collins for arguing a batter's interference call in the top of the 8th inning of the Mets-Marlins game. With one out and none on, Mets batter Jordany Valdespin bunted a fastball from Marlins pitcher J.D. Martin to catcher Kyle Skipworth.
