Royals ace Zack Greinke and Manager Trey Hillman were ejected by home plate umpire Greg Gibson in consecutive innings against the Red Sox.
Greinke, who doesn't pitch again until Sunday, was ejected with one out in the third inning after yelling from the bench on a 1-2 pitch from Royals starter Anthony Lerew to Jacoby Ellsbury.
Hillman was sent off in the fourth after Lerew nearly hit Mike Lowell with consecutive breaking balls. Gibson warned Lerew and both benches, sending Hillman charging out of the dugout. He was ejected within a few seconds.
-- BOY RECOVERING: Brain swelling has subsided in a 4-year-old Ohio boy whose skull was fractured when he was hit by a foul ball at a minor league baseball game, doctors said.
Luke Holko can move his arms and legs and appears to blink his eyes when spoken to, but he can't talk. Doctors at Akron Children's Hospital said a brain stem injury is healing but it could take months or years to determine how well he'll recover.
"There is a very good chance Luke will make a good recovery," physician James Besunder said.
