Banister ejected for first time for arguing fan interference

ANAHEIM --Jeff Banister was ejected for the first time this season for arguing a call that had been reversed by instant replay.

Elvis Andrus, leading off the eighth inning, hit a foul ball down the right-field line that Kole Calhoun chased to the wall but couldn't catch. Angels manager Mike Scioscia went out and asked for a review, claiming that a fan had interfered with Calhoun.

The umpires reviewed the call and ruled there was fan interference. Andrus was called out and Banister started out of the dugout. He was warned by first-base umpire Jim Reynolds but kept coming and was immediately ejected.
