Astros' Ronel Blanco had 'the stickiest stuff' felt on glove since crackdown, ump says

Houston Astros pitcher Ronel Blanco, who threw a no-hitter earlier this season, was tossed from his game against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night after a foreign substance check.

First-base umpire Erich Bacchus talked about what he felt inside of Blanco’s glove that led to the ejection.

"I felt something inside the glove," Bacchus said. "It was the stickiest stuff I’ve felt on a glove since we’ve been doing this for a few years now."
