OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Texas designated hitter Milton Bradley
got ejected, then was held back from a further argument in the
fourth inning Saturday against Oakland.

Bradley grounded into a double play, but thought he beat the
relay throw. He argued with first base umpire Angel Campos and kept
exchanging words while leaving the field.

Texas manager Ron Washington came out to discuss the play and
left after a few moments. Moments later, Campos signaled an
ejection -- it was the fourth time Bradley was ejected this season.

Bradley, who has been bothered by a lower back sprain, sprinted
back from the dugout back onto the field and yelled at Campos, and
first base coach Gary Pettis stepped between them.

Umpire crew chief Tim McClelland ran down the line from home
plate, and Washington came back out to help intercede as Pettis
pushed back Bradley.

Bradley eventually left the field as the Oakland crowd booed.
The one-time A's outfielder raised both hands while he walked down
the tunnel and to the Rangers clubhouse.
