Overview

• Jazz Chisholm Jr. was thrown out in the ninth inning by umpire Mark Wegner after asking “Why are you looking at me?” following a 2-0 pitch ruled a strike.
• Chisholm’s removal forced Oswaldo Peraza to shift to third base and brought DJ LeMahieu in to cover second, altering the infield late in the game.
• The Yankees fell 5-4 in 11 innings, marking their ninth loss in 12 contests and trimming their AL East cushion to one game over Tampa Bay.
• Captain Aaron Judge walked out between innings to calm Chisholm and afterward urged the team to “play better” amid the ongoing skid.
• Manager Aaron Boone said he would have preferred to be ejected himself to protect his player after witnessing the confrontation.
