NEW YORK: The minute he got ejected, Mike Napoli screamed and pointed right in the face of plate umpire Lance Barrett.
Indians manager Terry Francona arrived a moment or two after that — already too late to keep his cleanup hitter in the game — and shook his head slightly before shuffling back to the dugout.
No doubt, it was a frustrating week for the first-place Indians.
Masahiro Tanaka rebounded from two rocky outings, Didi Gregorius homered on his bobblehead day and the New York Yankees held off the Indians 3-2 Sunday.
“It’s been a difficult week, but I think everybody’s ready to move on,” Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis said.
