Boone was in a shouting match on the field with umpire Manny Gonzalez before his ejection. Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake was also ejected from the game.

The Yankees defense has been plagued with errors throughout the game. Second baseman Jazz Chisholm had a throwing error, Cody Bellinger lost the ball in the air, Ben Rice and Jasson Dominguez had fielding errors.

Aaron Judge hit his 37th homer of the season in the top of the sixth inning, bringing him to a career 352 home runs. He has now surpassed Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez on the all-time home run list.

At the time of writing, the Yankees are behind, 8-4 in the bottom of the 8th inning. It isn't looking good.
