New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected from Tuesday’s 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays for arguing whether Daulton Varsho actually made a catch.
The heated moment occurred in the seventh inning. Varsho was credited with one out on a diving catch in center field off the bat of Jazz Chisholm Jr. Boone had already lost a challenge early in the game and could not have made another after the play was made.

Boone made it clear that he thought Varsho had caught the ball instead of catching it cleanly. He argued with umpire Brennan Miller, who was on the receiving end of the famous “savages in the box” tirade that won Boone the hearts of Yankees fans in 2019.
He seemed to shout, “Good job!” at Miller before running out of the dugout.
“I thought there were two missed calls tonight,” he said after the game, via MLB.com. “I thought Anthony (Volpe) was safe at second base, and then I thought the ball was trapped in the outfield, and we had no challenge there.

“That said, I probably overreacted a little bit. I got a little angry because I felt like there were two calls, and then when you can’t challenge because you feel like you’ve already missed one, I didn’t control myself very well.”
Even so, New York was able to close the door on Toronto to take the victory.
