CHICAGO — CHICAGO (AP) — Seattle Mariners pitcher Hector Santiago became the first player to be ejected as part of Major League Baseball’s new foreign substance protocols when he was thrown out of their game against the Chicago White Sox.
Santiago was checked by the umpires as he exited in the fifth inning.
His glove was confiscated, and it was later announced that Santiago had been ejected.
Santiago was charged with one run and three hits in 2 1/3 innings in the resumption of Saturday’s game, which was postponed by rain.
