D.J. Carrasco - R - Braves

D.J. Carrasco was ejected from Tuesday's game after hitting Ryan Braun with a pitch following a Rickie Weeks home run.

The homer put the Brewers up 7-0 in the seventh inning, and evidently home plate ump Gary Darling felt Carrasco's pitch was intentional. The middle reliever figures to only get a small fine, if anything.
