ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was ejected from Friday night's game by plate umpire Nic Lentz in the top of the seventh inning, moments before rain forced a halt to play.
Matheny was arguing with Lentz when he came out to relieve Matt Bowman after Buster Posey drew a walk on a close 3-2 pitch. After handing the ball to reliever Kevin Siegrist, Matheny started yelling at Lentz as he walked toward the dugout and was quickly ejected.
