Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán was dominant in Saturday’s 6-1 win against the Minnesota Twins. He struck out 11 batters in 6.1 innings, allowing just one run on three hits. But his day probably should have ended much earlier.
After Germán started the game with three perfect innings, the umpiring crew led by crew chief James Hoye did the customary check for foreign substances. And that’s when they noticed an unusual amount of rosin or sticky stuff on Germán’s hand. Germán could have been ejected right there, but he was allowed to wash his hands and stay in the game.
