CINCINNATI -- Clarke Schmidt became the latest New York Yankees starting pitcher to be on the receiving end of a foreign substance check, but was allowed to continue in the game -- a decision that was met with disapproval from Cincinnati's David Bell and ultimately led to the Reds manager's ejection Friday night.
With New York leading 1-0 before the bottom half of the fifth inning, the umpires administered a foreign substance check on Schmidt.
"When I went out there for the fifth inning, the third-base umpire checked me," Schmidt said after New York's 6-2 win.
