MIAMI (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Madison Bumgarner has been ejected after his hand was checked for a foreign substance. Bumgarner gave up a leadoff homer to Jon Berti in the first inning at Miami, and then retired the next three batters.

As he was walking to the dugout, the veteran left-hander gestured with his arm before holding his hand out for first base umpire Dan Bellino to take a look.

Bumgarner said something to Bellino as the check was ending, and the umpire threw him out. Bumgarner then started yelling at Bellino and had to be restrained by some coaches.
