Max Scherzer's Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles came to an early end.
The New York Mets pitcher was ejected from the game against the Dodgers after just three innings. Steve Gelbs of SNY noted the ejection was "presumably for having a foreign substance on his hand/glove."
Umpires initially forced him to change gloves and eventually ejected him after a prolonged discussion:
