MLB Ejection 110 - Andy Fletcher (4; Tucker Barnhart)

HP Umpire Andy Fletcher ejected Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart (ball two call; QOCY) in the bottom of the 5th inning of the Reds-Nationals game. With none out and none on, Nationals batter Matt Adams took two fastballs from Reds pitcher Matt Harvey for called and second balls before hitting the next pitch for a home run. Replays indicate the first called ball was located off the plate (px 1.910) and the second called ball was located below the hollow of the batter's knee (pz 1.596 [sz_bot 1.7]), the call was correct.* At time of the ejection, the Nationals were leading, 5-2. The Nationals ultimately won the contest, 6-2.
