OAKLAND -- A's manager Bob Melvin was ejected in the second inning of Saturday's matinee with the Red Sox at the Coliseum.
With one out in the bottom of the inning and runners stationed on first and second, Josh Phegley connected on a check-swing grounder that Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez sailed past first base. It appeared both leading runners would easily score, but only one was allowed in when the ball reached the visitors' bullpen. Chad Pinder was ordered back to third base, leaving Phegley on second with a single and no RBI.
