When tempers flared in the sixth inning of the Yankees’ 3-1 clinching Game 4 win over the Royals, Jazz Chisholm Jr. didn’t back down.
— Jazz Chisholm Jr. put himself in the crosshairs of the ALDS by saying the Royals got “lucky” in their Game 2 win and insisting the Yankees would still win the series.
And when tempers flared in the sixth inning of the Yankees’ clinching Game 4 win over the Royals, Chisholm didn’t back down.
The benches cleared after Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia had a hard slide into second base and took an incidental forearm from Anthony Volpe while he was making the tag to finish off a double play.
As Garcia stood up and lingered at the bag, Volpe patted him on the back, but Chisholm came over and exchanged words with Garcia, which led to the dugouts and bullpens spilling onto the field.
“I just felt like [Garcia] tried to go injure Volpe because he was being a sore loser,” Chisholm said in the champagne-drenched Yankees clubhouse after a 3-1 win at Kauffman Stadium.
