The New York Yankees fought back after two-straight losses against Minnesota Twins on Saturday night, but it was alleged that their pitcher may have been assisted during their 6-1 win.
Domingo German secured 11 strikeouts against the Twins in 6.1 innings pitched, but was told to wash his hands during the game after excessive rosin was spotted. German had already been told to lower the amount of rosin he was using earlier in the match, but was then told to remove the substance after ignoring instructions.
Rosin is allowed in Major League Baseball, but it has to be used moderately in order to not enhance performance too highly. But German expressed that he didn't push the boundaries too far, despite a complaint from Twins manager Rocco Baldelli.
