Later in the game, Carapazza ejected Toronto catcher Russell Martin for arguing balls and strikes. Manager John Gibbons came out to break up the argument between Encarnacion and Carapazza and was also ejected. The 32-year-old pitcher admitted missing his final scheduled start prior to the all-star break, the series opener against the Tigers, could be a wise decision for his long-term health. Encarnacion was ejected for the first time this season for arguing with umpire Vic Carapazza after being called out on strikes to end the first inning of Friday’s 19-inning, 2-1 loss to Cleveland. TORONTO — Blue Jays designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion was suspended for one game by Major League Baseball on Sunday and fined an undisclosed amount for making contact with an umpire.
