The Chicago White Sox pitcher was ejected for tossing his belt at umpire Nic Lentz during the fourth inning against the Oakland A's.
Video of each outburst went viral, and each pitcher was allowed to remain in the game despite his tirade. But when Lynn went to the dugout after retiring the A's in the fourth, Lentz walked over to the Chicago dugout and asked to check Lynn's belt. Lynn tossed the belt in the third-base umpire's direction, which led to his dismissal.
Chicago White Sox pitcher Lance Lynn, pictured during their game against the Cleveland Indians on July 30, was ejected for tossing his belt at an umpire Wednesday. Lynn became the first pitcher to be tossed from a game for a performative response to a foreign-substance check."[Lentz] was late getting over [for the substance check], so I left my glove and my hat," Lynn told reporters after the game.
Pitchers who are caught with foreign substances are ejected and subject to an automatic 10-game suspension. As of Wednesday only two other Major League pitchers were tossed during the routine checks, Hector Santiago of the Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks starter Caleb Smith, who each were caught with an illegal substance on his glove.
Smith was ejected for having what Arizona manager Torey Lovullo called"a couple of hot spots" on his glove during his start against the Phillies on Wednesday. The 30-year-old left-hander denied any wrongdoing.
