HP Umpire Marvin Hudson ejected Blue Jays Manager John Farrell for arguing an interference call in the bottom of the 10th inning of the Twins-Blue Jays game. With one out and one on, Blue Jays batter J.P. Arencibia swung at and missed a 1-2 slider from Twins pitcher Brian Duensing for a strikeout, dropped third strike on the final pitch in the dirt. As Arencibia ran toward first base, the throw by catcher Drew Butera to first baseman Chris Parmelee hit Arencibia's helmet and bounced away from Parmelee. Replays indicate Arencibia failed to run completely within the 3-foot runner's lane when contact occurred and in doing so interfered with Parmelee's ability to field the throw, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 5-5. The Blue Jays ultimately won the contest, 6-5, in 10 innings.
This is Marvin Hudson (51)'s third ejection of 2012.
