CHICAGO — Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona was ejected in the first inning against the Chicago White Sox. Francona was tossed by first base umpire Todd Tichenor on Saturday for arguing after Steven Kwan was doubled off first. It was Francona's first ejection this season. Kwan opened the game with a soft single. With one out and Kwan running, Chicago left fielder Zach Remillard made a diving catch on José Ramirez's liner. Kwan was doubled off first. He stood on first as if he expected Francona to challenge the call. Tichenor signaled something to the Cleveland dugout, then the Guardians manager jogged on to the field, barked at Tichenor and was booted.
