New York Yankees minor league outfielder Matt Lipka received death threats on social media this week after breaking up a no-hitter in the ninth inning with a bunt Tuesday.
According to NJ.com's Mike Rosenstein, the Yankees' Double-A affiliate, the Trenton Thunder, are aware of the threats and investigating them.
With the Thunder trailing 3-0 to the Hartford Yard Goats in the top of the ninth, Lipka successfully bunted his way onto first base, thus ending the no-hit bid:
