San Francisco Giants pitcher Taylor Rogers tossed his glove in the trash Wednesday night as the team lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-5.
Rogers had every reason to throw down the gauntlet. He came into the game as a relief pitcher for Scott Alexander to start the sixth, but couldn’t get out of the inning. He wouldn’t even record an out.

The Dodgers scored five runs in the sixth to take the lead and open the game. Rogers was hit for four runs without allowing a hit. He tossed his glove into the trash can and slapped his hand several times on his jacket in frustration.
