Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos ejected but Yadier Molina wasn’t?

Nick Castellanos was hit by a pitch in the 4th inning by Jake Woodford. Later in the inning Woodford threw a wild pitch and Castellanos, then on third, raced home to beat the throw from Yadier Molina and the tag from Woodford.

On the play, Woodford wound up sitting on Castellanos for a brief second at the two met at the plate on the play. The Reds outfielder got up, while Woodford was still on the ground and screamed over him “Let’s (bleeping) go!” and then began to walk towards his dugout. That’s when Molina came rushing in and shoved/pushed Castellanos from behind and from there the benches cleared.
