CNN —New York Mets pitcher Drew Smith has been given a 10-game suspension following his ejection on Tuesday for the apparent use of a sticky substance on his hands. Smith told reporters after the game that he had used the same amount of rosin he usually does and has experienced no other issues so far this season. “My hands weren’t sticky,” Smith said. Smith’s Mets teammate Max Scherzer was ejected for the same reason earlier this season. “We’re all angry about this one,” Scherzer told reporters after the game.
