Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer is taking an early shower after his start on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It wasn’t because of his performance, though — it was because of his glove and what was on his hands.
After getting into and out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning, the right-hander settled in, lasting three scoreless innings while allowing one hit, two walks, and three strikeouts. The umpires apparently asked Scherzer to change his glove at some point throughout his start. It lead to a heated conversation between innings, which ultimately led to his ejection.
