Glenn Sparkman Ejected In Second Inning
6 years agoKansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman finally got another chance to start on Wednesday, but it was short-lived. Sparkman hit Tim Anderson in the head in the bottom of the second, and he was promptly ejected. The Royals have a history with Anderson this season as Brad Keller has also hit Anderson earlier in the year for admiring a home run, leading to both players being ejected after benches cleared. This was Anderson's first at-bat of the series, and no warnings were issued before the ejection. Sparkman isn't an exciting fantasy candidate anyway, but he shouldn't have any grudges waiting in the wings when his next start comes around against either the Rangers or Red Sox.
