DENVER (AP) — Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy has drawn his second ejection of the season.

Tracy was tossed by home plate umpire Paul Emmel in the sixth inning of Thursday night’s game against Philadelphia.

Tracy argued vehemently after Emmel ruled that a pitch had struck Mike Sweeney on his right hand with the bases loaded, driving in a run.

Tracy’s only other ejection this season also came against the Phillies at Coors Field, on May 12. Bench coach Tom Runnels took over managerial duties.
