Seattle Mariners pitcher Hector Santiago has received a 10-game suspension for allegedly violating Major League Baseball's foreign substance rules, the league announced Tuesday. Santiago is the first to be disciplined under new league protocols, which are designed to step up enforcement of rules meant to prevent pitchers from applying substances to the ball to improve their throws.
