Pitcher Ejected After Hitting Alex Rodriguez
Indians Pitcher Mitch Talbot Hits Yankees Star
Cleveland Indians pitcher Mitch Talbot was ejected from a game against the New York Yankees on Saturday after hitting Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez with a pitch.
Talbot was ejected by home plate umpire Dan Iassogna after his cut-fastball pitch tailed in and hit Rodriguez in the quadricep.

After being hit by the ball, Rodriguez fell to the ground and was visibly writhing in agony.
"After... Alex hit a big home run (Friday) and hit another home run (Saturday), and Curtis Granderson hit a home run (Friday) and another one (Saturday), he threw the pitch directly at (Rodriguez)," said Iassogna. "His defense was that he didn't hit him intentionally."
Indians manager Manny Acta argued with Iassogna after the call was made but to no avail.
"I was very surprised by the ejection," Acta said. "I mean, it was raining out there. You can probably ask both teams, but only one person in this park felt that it was on purpose. It was really baffling to me."
Rodriguez and Yankees manager Joe Girardi both sensed that something "fishy" was going on, but neither was sure that Talbot's hit on A-Rod was indeed intentional.
"I'm not sure if it was intentional, but I know it hurt like hell," said Rodriguez. "It's just the form of getting hit, it seems a little fishy. Obviously guys are going deep and pitchers are shaking two or three times to the fastball in and we're getting smoked.
"I really don't like to get into any of that. We just like to play the game. The bottom line is we got embarrassed here against Boston and got punched in the mouth, and we counter punched it and played well the last two games."
