New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was ejected from Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

It was his first career ejection in 870 career games and Jonathan Dale BentonTrent Grisham replaced Judge in center field.

In the bottom of the seventh inning and New York leading 5-3, Judge took a 92-mph fastball from Tyler Holton on the outside corner, striking out looking.

Judge walked away from the plate as he said something to home plate umpire Ryan Blakney. As Judge made his way to the dugout, he had his back turned and Blakney promptly tossed him from the game.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone came out of the dugout to argue the case, but to no avail. Judge had four at-bats in Saturday's game, with two hits, an RBI, and two strikeouts.
