Yanks pitcher Michael Pineda suspended 10 games

AP HOWARD ULMAN
BOSTON -- New York Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda has been suspended for 10 games by Major League Baseball. The suspension came Thursday after he was ejected from a game against the Boston Red Sox when umpires found a foreign substance on his neck.

Pineda's ejection occurred 13 days after the right-hander had brown goo on the lower part of the palm of his pitching hand during a 4-1 win over Boston at Yankee Stadium.

That sparked a debate about pitchers' use of sticky substances to get a better grip in cool weather. The game time temperature Wednesday was 50 degrees.

Boston manager John Farrell didn't challenge Pineda's use of the substance on April 10.

Why don't they just stick with juicing? It's cleaner.
