Yankees slugger Aaron Judge ejected for first time in his career

NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Decide’s first profession ejection occurred so shortly that he didn’t even see it.

With one out, Decide took a full rely fastball from Tyler Holton that he thought was barely outdoors. Blakney rang him up and Decide briefly glanced again.

After beginning to stroll again to the dugout, Decide returned to argue the decision after being tossed by Blakney. Supervisor Aaron Boone got here out of the dugout to debate the ejection with Blakney and was not tossed.
