Tampa – It took 22 games, but Aaron Boone finally made his first drain of the season.
The Yankees manager was pitched in eight innings of Sunday’s match against the Rays after Judge Aaron was called on a strike.
Frustration began boiling one pitch early, but was called a foul by third-based umpire Scott Barry when it appeared that the judge had crushed a home run down the left field line.
The Yankees disputed that, but in a review of the replay, the field’s call stood.
The judge then called to see Strike 3 on the next pitch, but he disagreed, and Boone jumped out of the dugout to argue.
Home Plate Judge Adam Beck had a quick hook for Boone. Boone came out to argue with Beck before getting the money worth with Barry in 3 barry.
Boone, who was kicked out 39 times in his first seven seasons, won his first acquisition on Sunday as Max Fried was working on a no-hit bid in seven innings before the scoring wiped it out. Freed gave up on his single for the eighth time.
Boone barked at Beck in the second inning. Jesson Dominguez was called on a strike after two pitches that appeared to have fallen off the plate were called strikes.
