Collins ejected arguing interference by batboy

NEW YORK -- Mets manager Terry Collins was ejected from Thursday's game for arguing a bizarre interference play, in which infielder Wilmer Flores collided with a batboy as he attempted to catch a foul pop.

With the bases loaded and one out in the fourth inning, Eric Sogard lifted a popup down the third-base line, near the Brewers' dugout. As Flores drifted over to catch it, a batboy trying to get out of the way made contact with Flores' hand and body. Flores threw his arms up and dropped his glove, as the ball clunked to the dirt beside him.
