New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodón explained why he blew a kiss to the crowd during Wednesday's 7-3 road loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
While entering the dugout after surrendering two runs during the second inning, Rodón quickly gestured to the crowd by blowing a kiss, seemingly in response to getting heckled:

Rodón was asked about it after the game, and he divulged that blowing a kiss was the best thing he could think to do at the time other than simply ignoring it (beginning at 50-second mark):
