NEW YORK -- New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole and manager Aaron Boone were both ejected from Friday night's 5-4 win over the Boston Red Sox for arguing with plate umpire Brian Knight about a called ball that preceded a game-tying home run in the sixth inning.
Cole's 1-2 pitch to Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo -- which in replays appeared to be low in the strike zone -- was called a ball, and his ensuing pitch, a 100 mph four-seam fastball, was drilled by Verdugo over the right-field fence for a three-run homer that tied the game at 4.
