Treanor Tossed

In a 1-1 game in the top of the seventh, the home plate umpire ejects Matt Treanor after calling a balk on C.J. Wilson. Treanor had his back to the ump when the thumb came, something I haven’t seen before. It seemed a bit unfair. The balk puts a runner on third with two out for the Athletics.

Update: Wilson induces a ground ball to shortstop and gets out of the inning. It’s still tied at 1-1 between the top two teams in the AL West. Ben Sheets is pitching well again with eight strikeouts through six innings.
