John Gibbons was ejected for the fourth time this season on Sunday night in the Toronto Blue Jays' 3-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Josh Donaldson homered in the first inning and stared at the Minnesota dugout as he crossed home plate.

In the fifth inning, Phil Hughes threw two pitches to Donaldson, one inside and one behind him. Donaldson expressed his displeasure to plate umpire Mark Ripperger.

Gibbons came out of the dugout and argued with Ripperger and Joe West, who came in from his spot at first base, then was tossed.

"The guy's a strike-throwing machine. And then there's a tight pitch, and then he throws behind him," Gibbons told Sportsnet of Hughes. "I thought they were going to chuck him. But you never know what's going to happen nowadays, if you want to know the truth. Whether it's warnings, the guy gets thrown out or nothing. You never know."
