Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper was ejected Thursday after arguing with third base umpire Ángel Hernández over his decision to rule him out on strikes on an attempted check swing.
On a full count in the bottom of the third inning, Harper appeared to check his swing on a pitch below the zone and began unstrapping his ankle protectors in preparation to walk down to first base.
Hernández, however, indicated that he thought Harper went around on his swing, and ruled the 30-year-old out on strikes.
