Remembering back to Sept. 27, Rays pitcher Andrew Kittredge threw a 93-mph fastball behind the head of Yankees catcher, Austin Romine. This was supposedly in retaliation of C.C. Sabathia hitting Jake Bauers on the hand with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Though warnings were issued to both benches by home plate umpire, Vic Carapazza, the 18-year veteran, Sabathia, needed to be restrained by manager Aaron Boone.
With the Yankees opening an 11-0 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth, Sabathia took the mound and the law (Sylvester Stallone voice) into his own hands.
