Overview

• José Caballero was tossed in the top of the 10th after arguing with second-base umpire Roberto Ortiz on a stolen-base call that was upheld on replay when his shin briefly came off the bag.
• Earlier in the inning, umpires ruled Rays reliever Pete Fairbanks was not on the rubber for a third throw to first, so no balk was called and Caballero returned to the base.
• The ejection forced a defensive reshuffle as Giancarlo Stanton took over in right field for the bottom of the 10th after entering as a pinch-hitter and delivering a go-ahead two-run homer.
• Aaron Boone called the timing of the ejection unacceptable, telling reporters players must step back in that spot and let the manager handle disputes.
• The Yankees closed out a 6-4 win in 10, and Caballero—acquired before the deadline—remains a high-impact contributor who entered the day leading MLB with 40 steals and strong numbers for New York.
