Angel Hernandez had three calls overturned by replay review in Monday’s Red Sox-Yankees game. On Tuesday, as the umpire moves from first base to behind the plate, Boston manager Alex Cora said he’s not concerned about Hernandez’s prime placement for Game 4.
“There’s a reason he’s in this series, and he has a job to do just like all of us,” Cora said.
The Red Sox manager was asked about Hernandez because of the three blown calls and an incident involving second baseman Ian Kinsler last season. Kinsler, then a Detroit Tiger, took issue with the umpire during a game against the Texas Rangers on Aug.
