CHICAGO (AP) -Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano threw a baseball into left field and slammed his glove against the dugout fence after he was ejected from Wednesday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
With Nyjer Morgan at third and the Cubs leading 2-1 in the seventh inning, Zambrano’s wild pitch just got away from catcher Geovany Soto. Zambrano covered the plate for Soto’s throw, Morgan slid and umpire Mark Carlson ruled him safe.
Zambrano jumped up and argued and was ejected after he appeared to nudge Carlson. Zambrano then pointed in Carlson’s face and gave him the ejection sign.
But the Cubs’ emotional right-hander wasn’t finished. He fired a ball into left, tossed his glove and took a bat to a dugout cooler before heading to the clubhouse.
