05/09/2008 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seattle first baseman Richie Sexson was ejected in the fourth inning of Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers.
With two outs in the inning, Keith Gabbard came up and in with a fastball that caused Sexson to charge the mound and throw his helmet at the Texas hurler. Both benches cleared, but no punches were thrown.
Seattle starter Felix Hernandez had drilled Ian Kinsler, who homered off him earlier, with a fastball in the previous frame.
Sexson was the only player to be ejected from the fracas and was replaced by Miguel Cairo. Gabbard remained in the game and issued a walk to Cairo. Yuniesky Betancourt then reached on an infield single and both runners moved into scoring position on Ramon Vazquez's throwing error.
Gabbard was then taken out of the game due to bruised legs. Franklyn German took over on the mound and induced an inning-ending ground out from Wladimir Balentien.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
