Edwin Díaz: Athletics' Austin Adams 'Crossed a Line' by Mocking Mets' Celebration

New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz took exception to Oakland Athletics reliever Austin Adams using the "OMG" celebration when he escaped a jam in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 9-4 victory.

Speaking to Bridget Reilly of the New York Post, Díaz said Adams "crossed a line" with the celebration.

"He crossed a line because that's something we do when we hit a homer or something," Díaz explained. "He [can] do it always, that's fine. But, he can't get mad if we do something to him the next couple of days."

After the Mets scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth to cut their deficit to 7-4, Adams was brought in from the bullpen with two on and nobody out.
