Mets’ Scherzer ejected for sticky stuff after umpire verify

LOS ANGELES — Max Scherzer was ejected from the New York Mets’ sport on the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday after umpires did a customary verify of his glove earlier than the underside of the fourth inning.

Scherzer was livid when tossed by umpire Phil Cuzzi following the inspection of his glove and a prolonged dialog that included plate umpire Dan Bellino, the crew chief. The 38-year-old right-hander already had been informed by umpires to alter his glove earlier than he took the mound one inning earlier within the backside of the third.

Scherzer yelled “It’s rosin!” at Bellino and Cuzzi earlier than his ejection.

Mets supervisor Buck Showalter got here out of the dugout for a prolonged dialogue with the umpires whereas Scherzer reluctantly went to the dugout.

Scherzer pitched three scoreless innings of one-hit ball earlier than his ejection from his fourth begin of the season.
