Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson was ejected from Thursday’s game against the Chicago White Sox after hitting a home run and having an exchange with the home-plate umpire.

Donaldson hit a clutch solo home run in the sixth inning. As he crossed home, Donaldson kicked dirt on the plate, which apparently was an issue for home-plate umpire Dan Bellino. Donald was tossed out after the incident.

Donaldson then hit the home run off of Reynaldo Lopez and as he crossed the plate it appeared Donaldson may have gone back to make sure he tagged home plate. However, Donaldson began kicking directly on the plate. Bellino then ejected him.

It was Donaldson’s fifth home run of the year.
