The New York Yankees appeared to retaliate after watching two of their hitters get plunked, and the Baltimore Orioles announcers did not accept.
Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres absorbed 94 mph fastballs with their hands Tuesday night, prompting speculation over whether the Yankees should retaliate on Wednesday. And in the seventh inning of Baltimore’s 7-6 win Wednesday night, the Yankees seemingly retaliated when reliever Victor Gonzalez plunked Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson on the shoulder.
Orioles broadcasters Kevin Brown and Brett Hollander believed Henderson’s hit by pitch may have been on purpose, and they were livid over the possible vengeance.
