The Yankees applauded from the dugout as manager Aaron Boone touted his team’s offensive presence during a spirited on-field argument in Thursday’s first game, calling them “[bleeping] savages” for their continued ability to make pitchers’ lives difficult.
Boone believed that message needed to be relayed to a rookie umpire, but the rest of the American League is well aware of the Yankees’ patient, lethal approach. They lived up to that billing in the nightcap, celebrating their new moniker by posting a 5-1 victory that completed a doubleheader sweep of the Rays at Yankee Stadium.
