Milwaukee Brewers ace Corbin Burnes was ejected from Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds after spiking a ball into the ground and getting into a verbal exchange with umpire D.J. Reyburn.

Burnes laid out for a terrific catch to end the sixth inning before he angrily hurled the ball into the grass.

The right-hander exchanged words with Reyburn following the catch and was later tossed from the game while arguing from the dugout.

It was the first ejection of Burnes' career. He was replaced by Joel Payamps after walking four and striking out seven across six frames.
