TORONTO — Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me…out of the game.
Aaron Judge’s night off Friday got cut short when Yankees elder Brett Gardner found himself thrown out of his team’s game against the Blue Jays in the top of the fourth inning at Rogers Centre, with the Yankees trailing, 3-0.
Home-plate umpire Chris Segal tossed Gardner from the game in the middle of Mike Tauchman’s at-bat, moments after Segal called Cameron Maybin on a third strike that appeared low. Gardner, upon realizing he had been ejected, stormed onto the field and had to be held back by his manager Aaron Boone.
