Evidently, during the early innings, the Rays were suspicious of a discoloration on the top of the bill of Joe Blanton's cap. Blanton struck out three batters in the first two innings and four of the first eight batters he faced. It seems Rays manager Joe Maddon told home-plate umpire Tom Hallion that he believed Blanton had pine tar on his cap. Hallion said he would examine the baseball.
He did. Nothing happened.
More on this after the game.

Whatever it is has been there for (at least) weeks.
I think it has to be some mix of sweat and hair gel. Fletch is right: Blanton's hat has looked like that for weeks.
