Rosin Bag Explodes on Pirates P Gerrit Cole on the Mound vs. Cardinals

Although Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole had his way with the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night, it wasn't always smooth sailing for him.

When Cole went to pick up the rosin bag at one point during the game, he found himself in an unusual spot. The bag exploded on him, with the rosin emptying all over on the mound.

Umm, a little help, please?

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle was able to hook his pitcher up with a new rosin bag. And considering the bag survived a long toss, it looks like it was a reliable one.
