Former major league pitcher Dirk Hayhurst, now a broadcast analyst for the Blue Jays, told Toronto radio station Sportsnet 590 The Fan on Thursday that Buchholz was "absolutely" cheating in Wednesday's start. Buchholz (6-0) leads the majors in wins and the AL in ERA (1.01).
Analysis: An article on the Sportsnet website included photographs of Buchholz, including one showing him wiping his first two fingers across his forearm, which appeared to be partially covered with a white substance. Buchholz brushed aside the allegations, saying he puts rosin on his arm and occasionally wets his fingers to get a better grip. Farrell insisted the photos were "false" and backed Buchholz's claim about rosin.
