On Thursday the New York Yankees and the Seattle Mariners matchup up with the Bombers losing 1-10, but something obscure was spotted on the bottom of Mariners starting pitcher, Yusei Kikuchi‘s, hat.

The Major League Baseball‘s rulebook states, “The pitcher shall not apply a foreign substance of any kind to the ball,” and a violation of the rule is a punishment of an immediate ejection and a 10-game suspension.
Yankee fans remember Michael Pineda when he was caught with a foreign substance on his neck during a game against Boston in 2014 and was given a 10 game suspension.
