Bryce Harper shot out of the dugout like a loose cannon and joined his teammates as they celebrated Clint Robinson’s walk-off home run in Monday’s 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
As Nationals players mobbed Robinson at home plate, Harper turned toward home plate umpire Brian Knight and conveyed his fury. The Nationals’ right fielder was still steaming from what transpired one at-bat earlier, when shortstop Danny Espinosa was called out on a strike that appeared high and outside. Several players stood at the top of the dugout and voiced their displeasure, but Harper was the only one ejected.
