Twins Manager Ejected After Dispute Over Yankees Pitcher's Excess Rosin; Starter Allowed to Remain in Game

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli argued with umpires over New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German's use of excess rosin on his hands and was ejected, though German was allowed to stay in the game.
German was asked by umpires to remove excess rosin from his hands but did not fully comply, leading Baldelli to argue German should have been ejected.
German went on to retire the first 16 batters he faced and struck out a career-high 11 batters over 6 1/3 innings in the Yankees' 6-1 win.
The dispute came as MLB has cracked down on pitchers' use of sticky substances to improve their grip and spin rate.
While German was found to only be using rosin, a legal substance, Baldelli argued that German's failure to fully clean his hands when told to by umpires warranted ejection.
