Harper ejected for yelling at umpire from dugout

NEW YORK -- Bryce Harper's first game at Citi Field as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies began with a long rain delay and ended with a short stay. Harper was ejected in the top of the fourth inning after chirping from the bench after striking out looking on a high fastball.

Three batters after Harper struck out on the 2-2 pitch, Phillies manager Gabe Kapler suddenly rushed out from the dugout in the middle of Cesar Hernandez's at-bat, yelling at home-plate umpire Mark Carlson.

As they argued, Harper sprinted out from the dugout sans helmet and Kapler had to push him away from Carlson.
