Even in one of his better starts of the season, things didn't go smoothly for New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia on Sunday.
The 34-year-old Sabathia was ejected after six innings against the Los Angeles Angels for arguing balls and strikes with home-plate umpire Dan Bellino, the first time Sabathia had been ejected since 2006 when he was a member of the Cleveland Indians.
Sabathia had induced a ground-ball double play to end the inning, but he was still not happy about the strike zone. On his way off the field, the pitcher had some words with the umpire. He apparently said the magic word, because after a few seconds of jawing, he was tossed. That, of course, didn't stop Sabathia from sending a few expletive Bellino's way.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi quickly came out to defend his player, and he, too, was quickly ejected.
Luckily for the southpaw, he was in position to win the game when he was sent to the showers. Sabathia (3-7) picked up the win and a quality start, as he allowed just two runs in six innings of work. The Yankees finished off their three-game sweep of the Angels with a 6-2 victory.
