Hours after "Rosingate" unfolded at Marlins Park in the 12th inning Saturday night, the Orioles were still scratching their collective heads as to what lefty reliever Brian Matusz did so differently that led to his ejection.
The facts are simple enough: Matusz appeared to have a combination of rosin and sunscreen on his right, non-throwing arm that he touched several times while pitching in the 12th inning. New Miami Marlins manager Dan Jennings asked the umpires to check it out and crew chief Paul Emmel touched Matusz's arm, declared it sticky and ejected the reliever.
The Marlins won, 1-0, in the 13th against reliever T.
