Domingo German had a dream bounce-back start for the Yankees on Saturday. Facing the Minnesota Twins, the veteran righty allowed one run in 6.1 innings with no walks and a career-high 11 strikeouts.
Except that wasn’t the story of German’s outing. That occurred in the middle of the third and right before the top of the fourth inning. Umpire crew chief James Hoye had a lengthy discussion with German, the Yankees’ team translator, and manager Aaron Boone.
Cut to Twins manager Rocco Baldelli getting very angry and subsequently ejected. If it sounds confusing, it’s because it was.
