Bryce Harper was ejected from the dugout in the ninth inning of Monday night's game between the Washington Nationals and Detroit Tigers.

Harper then yelled at plate umpire Brian Knight as the Nationals celebrated the comeback victory.

It was the first ejection of the season for Harper, but the seventh of his career. it occurred after Danny Espinosa was called out on strikes by Knight to start the bottom of the ninth.

"Everybody was up on the steps, preaching about what they thought was going on," Harper said after the game of the Espinosa out. "[Knight] kind of picked me and said, 'See ya later.' I think my emotions showed that I was pretty surprised, but, you know, I think Clint Robinson made me really excited, hit the walk-off, and we got the W, so that's all that matters about tonight."

As Harper and the Nationals mobbed Robinson at the plate, cameras captured Harper pointing at Knight and yelling.

"Yeah, absolutely," he said. "I was pretty upset. I think I was right to do that. Let him hear what I have to say, let him hear it again, and so what? Couple choice words. If I do [get fined], I do. I'll pay it. So I think it deserves to, you know, maybe he'll get fined, too. So we'll see."
