Harper, Williams ejected in finale vs. Yankees

WASHINGTON -- Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper and manager Matt Williams were ejected from Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

While facing right-hander Adam Warren in the third inning, Harper took a called first strike, and there appeared to be some arguing from Harper and the dugout. Harper stepped out of the batter's box, and when ordered to get back in by home-plate umpire Marvin Hudson, Harper gestured toward the plate and was ejected.

Williams then came out and argued that Harper should stay in the game, but he, too, was ejected. Williams then kicked dirt toward Hudson on his way out.
