During an eventual 11-0 inter-league loss to the Mariners at Shea Stadium, Brian Runge enrages Jerry Manuel when the ump appears to show up Carlos Beltr�n after calling a strike on the center fielder. The commissioner’s office will suspend the home plate umpire for one game for bumping the Mets manager during the ensuing heated argument, with the New York skipper and outfielder, who were both thrown out of the game, being fined for arguing balls and strikes.
