D'Backs Caleb Smith Ejected After Glove Confiscated For Suspected Foreign Substance

(Phoenix, AZ)  --  Diamondbacks reliever Caleb Smith is the latest pitcher in Major League Baseball to be ejected for a suspected foreign substance.  Smith was ejected in the eighth inning of Arizona's game against the Phillies in Phoenix.  All four umpires spent time examining the glove before ejecting the pitcher.  The D'backs reliever would then have to be restrained as he grew angry over the decision.  Smith is the second pitcher to be ejected under the MLB's latest substance ban.  Seattle's Hector Santiago was ejected and suspended 10 games earlier in the season.  Crew chief Tom Hallion was responsible for both ejections.
