After Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah plunked Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge in the fifth inning of Sunday’s game at Yankee Stadium, New York pitcher Gerrit Cole came out of the dugout and took offense to the pitch thrown by Manoah.
Judge was not happy when he was hit by the pitch, but when Cole and others exited the dugout in the near brawl, the Yankees outfielder told his teammates to go back to the dugout.
Cole was the most animated teammate coming to the defense of Judge, as he yelled repeatedly in Manoah’s direction.
