Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg was warned by the umpire after hitting Justin Upton in the first inning of Saturday's start, but he apparently didn't get the message. Strasburg threw behind Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons twice in the second inning and was immediately ejected, ending his game after just one inning of work.
Strasburg was charged with two runs on two hits in one-plus inning. He struck out one batter, walked two, and threw three wild pitches.
Strasburg's next start is scheduled to come Thursday against the Cubs, but that could change if he possibly faces a suspension. He could also be bumped up in the rotation, having thrown just 26 pitches.
