After the ejection, Bumgarner was extremely upset and had to be restrained by multiple teammates and members of Arizona’s staff. The ejection happened after Bellino came over to check his hand for substances, after which Bumgarner said something to get thrown out. Bumgarner gave up a lead-off home run to Jon Berti before getting the next three batters to fly out.

This season, Bumgarner has one win and one loss in five starts. He has a 1.17 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and 15 strikeouts in 23 innings pitched. In 2021, Bumgarner had seven wins and ten losses in 26 starts, striking out 124 batters in 146.1 innings.

Corbin Martin took over on the mound for the Diamondbacks in the second inning.
