Josh Donaldson on Lucas Giolito: "Hands Not Sticky Anymore!"

Josh Donaldson hit a home run off Lucas Giolito and said to his teammates as he crossed home plate "hands not sticky anymore!" That did not sit well with Giolito. Donaldson had threatened to release video evidence that pitchers had been using illegal grip substances prior to MLB's crackdown on sticky stuff. He's been one of the only hitters speaking up against pitchers using questionable tactics to improve their spin rates. Giolito is among the pitchers who've seen their spin rates plummet since MLB started checking pitchers' caps and gloves after each inning. He only gave up one more run in this outing, putting together a quality start, and was quick to point out the White Sox won and the Twins are in last place. Ouch.
