NEW YORK — Last week, Indians ace Corey Kluber seemed to drill Eduardo Nunez with a fastball because he swung too hard at the previous pitch. Last night, Yankees veteran lefty CC Sabathia got angry at the Red Sox second baseman for daring to lay down a bunt.
Nunez bunted in the first inning against his former teammate, and reached base when Sabathia made a bad throw on the play. Sabathia, who’s 37 with a bad knee and a notorious reputation for fielding problems, took offense.
“I’m an old man,” he said after the Yankees’ 6-2 win over the Sox.
