VIDEO: Angels' Scioscia gets tossed after Yasiel Puig walks on clear strike
Gary A. Vasquez / USA TODAY Sports
Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia knew hits would be hard to come by Saturday afternoon with his team facing Clayton Kershaw, so it didn't take him long to get fired up after his own starting pitcher, Andrew Heaney, got squeezed by home plate umpire Chris Segal in the second inning.
Heaney appeared to throw a clear strike to Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig on a 3-2 count, but Segal ruled it a ball. That prompted Scioscia to charge out of the dugout and give Segal a piece of his mind, ultimately resulting in his second ejection of the season.
