Scherzer for a final time when he was walking to the mound to pitch in the fourth inning, and found that Mr. Scherzer was inspected prior to pitching in the third inning, the umpires found that his pitching hand was clean, but found a sticky substance in the pocket of his glove, and Mr.
Scherzer was told to wash his hands prior to returning for the next inning, and that he would be inspected again prior to the third inning. After being checked at the conclusion of the second inning, Mr. Scherzer was found to be in violation of the foreign substance prohibitions of the Official Baseball Rules prior to the bottom of the fourth inning.
