Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner was ejected from his team's road game against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday after just one inning following some heated comments before and during a foreign-substance check.
As Bally Sports Arizona noted, Bumgarner didn't appear to get tossed because of a foreign substance.

Bumgarner allowed a leadoff home run to Jon Berti before retiring the next three batters on flyouts.
Corbin Martin came on for Bumgarner in relief.
