HP Umpire Lance Barrett ejected Nationals assistant hitting coach Chris Johnson (strike one call to CJ Abrams; QOCN) in the bottom of the 6th inning of the #Mets-Nationals game. With one out and none on, Nationals batter Abrams took a 0-0 slider from Mets pitcher Tylor Megill for a called first strike.

The Nationals ultimately won the contest, 8-7.
