Arizona Diamondbacks star Madison Bumgarner was tossed from Wednesday’s matinee against the Miami Marlins right after the mandatory check for foreign substances.
Bumgarner allowed a home run to Marlins third baseman Jon Berti and while he was walking back to the dugout he appeared to chirp toward the umpires. He didn’t stop talking when he was getting his fingers checked for a foreign substance and, after the check was over, umpire Dan Bellino tossed him.

The veteran pitcher wasn’t happy after he was tossed and got into the umpire’s face. Bumgarner’s teammates and coaches had to hold the pitcher back.
It wasn’t exactly clear what was said between Bumgarner and the umpire.
