The New York Yankees fell to a second consecutive defeat against the Cincinnati Reds after Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s controversial ejection in Tuesday's 5-4 loss. Former Yankees player Jose Trevino took the blame for the ejection by Yankees manager Aaron Boone.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. was ejected from Tuesday's game after his outburst against home plate umpire Mark Wegner after a controversial strike call in the top of the ninth inning.
According to MLB insider Bryan Hoch, Aaron Boone feels former Yankee Jose Trevino, who was the designated hitter for the Reds on Tuesday, instructed the plate umpire to look at Chisholm, who was fuming after the call against him.
"Aaron Boone said 'There's a pretty strong case Jazz Chisholm Jr. should not have been ejected from last night's game. Boone said he believes Jose Trevino contributed to the ejection, directing HP umpire Mark Wegner to look at Jazz at 3B," Hoch tweeted.
