Ball and Balk

Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | WSH@ATL: Umpire calls balk on Gorzelanny's movement - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia

If I'm understanding this clip right the Ump tried to warn F1 about not wiping. When the warning wasn't taken receptively they balked the runners over and ball foured the BR to 1B.
The violation in itself looked like only a violation of 8.02(a)1 which is only penalized by a ball.
But the umps may have escalated the violation to that of applying a foreign substance to the ball and thus been able to penalize per 8.02(a)6(d) which allows a ball and a balk.
BUT,I thought we had previously concluded that the wording of this penalty did not really mean to apply both a ball and balk together.

Edited to add: Or maybe it was just ball four and the announcers and MLB.com thought it was a balk that moved the runners over instead of ball four.
I'll have to check the box score.
