Nationals manager Davey Johnson told reporters Tuesday that outfielder Bryce Harper will not be fined or suspended for his actions during Sunday's game against the Pirates. Harper was ejected that game after arguing a called third strike on a check swing with third-base umpire John Hirschbeck.
Harper is in the midst of a 2-for-22 slump and has not had a multi-hit game since April 27. He's hitting .312/.400/.633 with nine homers and 18 RBI through 109 at-bats. The 20-year-old carried a .284/.368/.523 line with four homers and 11 RBI through his first 109 at-bats last season.
