Jorge López cut by Mets after throwing temper tantrum — and glove — against Dodgers

Mets relief pitcher Jorge López threw a temper tantrum during a blowout loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday. He also threw his glove — way up and over the protective netting behind the Mets dugout and into the stands at Citi Field after being ejected from the game. And López threw in a couple of f-bombs during a postgame interview that will likely end up being his last official act as a member of the Mets, who designated the right-hander for assignment on Thursday.

López gave up a double to Miguel Vargas, scoring Rojas and Lux, then forced Mookie Betts to fly out before surrendering a two-run home run to Shohei Ohtani for a 9-3 Dodgers lead. After falling behind Freddie Freeman with a 3-1 count, López earned his ejection by angrily arguing a check-swing call with third-base umpire Ramon De Jesus. As he was leaving the field, a frustrated López hoisted his glove high into the air with an underhand toss.
