Bryce Harper of Washington Nationals ejected, yells 'choice words' at umpire

WASHINGTON -- The Nationals' Bryce Harper was ejected from the dugout in the ninth inning Monday night and then yelled something in the direction of umpire Brian Knight as Harper and his teammates celebrated a comeback win over the Detroit Tigers.

Knight pointed toward the dugout and signaled Harper's ejection after Danny Espinosa was called out on strikes to lead off the ninth.

Pinch-hitter Clint Robinson then came to the plate and connected for a game-ending homer that gave the Nationals a 5-4 win over the Tigers.
