St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn was ejected after a confrontation with umpire Ángel Hernández during a spring training game against the Washington Nationals.

The incident occurred in the third inning, with Lynn also having a disagreement with Hernández in the bullpen post-ejection.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was also ejected from the same game.

Prior to his ejection, Lynn's performance involved allowing four runs on three hits and three walks in two innings.

Ángel Hernández is a veteran umpire known for past controversial calls and some decisions being overturned.

Despite the ejection and a rocky start in the spring training game, Lynn is positive about his future contributions to the Cardinals following his recent one-year, $11 million contract signing.
