Ejection 002: Larry Vanover (1)

With one out and one on, Nationals batter Danny Espinosa took a 3-1 changeup from Mets pitcher Manny Acosta for a ball.

There were no incorrect callable pitches during the at bat, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Nationals were leading, 1-0. The Nationals ultimately won the contest, 4-0.
