Overview
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected in the bottom of the 10th on Wednesday after he charged the field to argue a check-swing call by first-base umpire Junior Valentine.
- Pitching coach Matt Blake was thrown out seconds later, but New York held on for a 6-3 victory after scoring five runs in the top of the 10th.
- The disputed play involved Angels hitter Vaughn Grissom on a 1-2 pitch to Michael Fulmer, with the umpire ruling a check swing that replays shared by media appeared to contradict.
- No league reversal or discipline has been reported and Boone publicly criticized the call after the game, marking his fifth ejection this season.
- Separately, rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. avoided the injured list after an MRI showed no structural knee damage and he is progressing toward a return.
