Overview

  • During a fifth-inning inspection, second-base umpire Phil Cuzzi and crew chief Dan Bellino ruled Gilbert’s glove too sticky and removed it from play.
  • Manager Will Venable supplied a new glove, plate umpire Clint Vondrak approved it, and Gilbert remained in the game under MLB’s foreign-substance enforcement protocols.
  • After entering, Gilbert walked Ben Rice and then surrendered Giancarlo Stanton’s go-ahead three-run double that flipped a 3-1 Chicago lead.
  • Gilbert and Venable said the residue was sweat and rosin from a glove used all season, and no immediate ejection or suspension was reported.
  • The defeat completed a Yankees sweep and left Chicago at 58-101 with five straight losses and 11 defeats in their last 12 games.
