Stanek was incensed after striking out Michael Busch to end the inning. He yelled at second base umpire Junior Valentine, who tossed Stanek. Manager Dusty Baker came on the field to argue was ejected, too. Phil Bickford (2-2) got the victory in relief and Evan Phillips pitched the ninth for his 10th save.
