Notes & reviews

Cardinals designated hitter Matt Holliday left the game due to an injured leg
after the walk to Colby Rasmus, catcher Matt Treanor talked to HP umpire Angel Campos while still facing the field; Campos came around the front to say something to Treanor and went back behind the catcher; the discussion continued and got more heated until Treanor was ejected by Campos; then Treanor turned around to Campos and was yelling about not getting an answer from the umpire; Royals manager Ned Yost went to the plate and was yelling at Campos about how Treanor acted like a professional and should not have been ejected; Yost was ejected by Campos
