Diamondbacks' Madison Bumgarner Ejected After Exchange During Foreign-Substance Check

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.

It appears Bumgarner was ejected for something that was said, and not for what was on his hand. <a href="https://t.co/g7TldjHHLs">pic.twitter.com/g7TldjHHLs</a>

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.
