Kelley insisted his actions were born out of frustration with a disagreement with second-base umpire Tripp Gibson III, who warned him of a potential balk, and home-plate umpire Adrian Johnson, who warned him of a quick pitch, and the fact that Kelley surrendered a homer. Even though the Nats were up by a wide margin, Kelley says he needs to carry the same intensity on the mound in a blowout as he would in a 1-1 game.
