Aaron Judge’s tiebreaking, two-run homer lifted the New York Yankees to a contentious 6-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night after pitcher Domingo German was ejected for using sticky stuff.
Judge was booed while striking out in his first two at-bats following allegations of sign stealing Monday, when he hit a pair of solo homers in a 7-4 win. Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was removed from the game after eight innings. He appeared to hurt a leg while fielding Gleyber Torres’ popped bunt in the top half.
Later on German was ejected after he walked to the mound to start the bottom of the fourth and umpires checked his hands for banned sticky stuff. His ejection, likely to trigger a 10-game suspension, was the fourth since MLB started its crackdown on prohibited grip aids two years ago and the second this season.
