NEW YORK _ Astros manager A.J. Hinch reacted with derision on Thursday night to the suggestion that his team was whistling from the dugout as part of a sign-stealing scheme during Game 1 of the ALCS against the Yankees.
Yankees coaches were reportedly upset with what they thought they heard the Astros doing and a dugout-to-dugout yelling match ensued during the Yankees' 7-0 Game 1 victory on Saturday at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
Hinch and Astros ace Justin Verlander pointed out before Game 4 at Yankee Stadium that the Astros were shut out on three hits in Game 1.
