MLB Ejections 134, 135, 136: Marvin Hudson (2, 3, 4)

HP Umpire Marvin Hudson ejected Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg and Manager Davey Johnson for throwing at Braves batter Andrelton Simmons in the bottom of the 2nd inning and Nationals RF Scott Hairston

Strasburg leaves the field without saying a word.

for arguing a strike three call in the top of the 9th inning of the Nationals-Braves game. In the bottom of the 1st, Strasburg surrendered a lead-off home run to Braves batter Jason Heyward. With Justin Upton immediately following, on the first pitch to Upton, Strasburg hit him with a 97-mph fastball, resulting in warnings from Umpire Hudson. In the bottom of the second, with none out and one on, Strasburg threw two consecutive fastballs behind Simmons, resulting in his and Manager Johnson's ejections, the ejections were irrecusable. In the top of the 9th, with one out and none on, Hairston took a 2-2 fastball from Braves pitcher David Carpenter for a called third strike.

Broadcast: he's "got a beef" just as PFX shows K.
