Aaron Judge tossed for 1st time, Rizzo hits 3
NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge was ejected for the first time in his career in the seventh inning, Anthony Rizzo hit a three-run homer to cap a four-run third and the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Saturday.
Judge had two hits, including an RBI double to start New York’s rally in the third before getting ejected by plate umpire Ryan Blakney for arguing a called third strike. Judge thought a full count fastball by Tyler Holton was slightly outside and he was quickly tossed after looking back at Blakney.
“I was very surprised,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “Judge, he says very little usually very respectfully walking away. Come on man.”
Judge became the first Yankee captain to get tossed since Don Mattingly on May 13, 1994, in Milwaukee.
“I got a lot of respect for Ryan and what he does. I know their job’s tough. I’ve always had their back because it’s tough back there. So for that to happen that way, that’s what I’m most upset about, especially late in the game like that.”
