3 years agoWashington Nationals right-hander Steve Cishek was ejected from his team's game against the New York Mets on Friday night after he hit Francisco Lindor in the face during the fifth inning. Lindor was the only batter Cishek faced in an outing that spanned just two pitches. It didn't appear that Cishek intentionally hit Lindor, but that was the fourth hit batter by the Washington pitching staff in just two games this series, so the umpiring crew was most likely trying to send a message to the Nats. Cishek was replaced by lefty Sean Doolittle in the contest. It remains to be seen whether Cishek faces further disciplinary action from the league.--Matt T - RotoBaller
