Overview

• Aaron Judge's eighth-inning drive, initially believed to be a home run, was ruled foul by third-base umpire Scott Barry and upheld after an inconclusive replay review.
• On the next pitch, Judge was called out on a borderline third strike by home-plate umpire Adam Beck, leading to an explosive reaction from Yankees manager Aaron Boone.
• Boone was ejected after arguing with both Beck and Barry, marking the 40th ejection of his managerial career and his first of the 2025 season.
• The game took place at George M. Steinbrenner Field, a non-standard MLB venue with shorter foul poles that contributed to the controversy surrounding the foul ball call.
• Despite the contentious officiating, the Yankees defeated the Rays 4-0, with Max Fried delivering a dominant performance, allowing just two hits over 7.2 innings.
