Jazz Chisholm homer, Max Fried gemn help Yankees roll by Reds

CINCINNATI — Jazz Chisholm Jr. was seeing red Tuesday night, which Jose Trevino may have had something to do with.

By Wednesday, the only red in Chisholm’s sight was the color of the right-field seats where his moonshot of a two-run homer was landing.

And of course, his trip around the bases brought him right past Trevino, where the Yankees third baseman got the last laugh with his former teammate.

Following his ejection in the ninth inning the previous night, Chisholm relied on his bat to make a statement, hitting a crucial two-run homer that played a key role in securing a 7-1 victory against the Reds and preventing a sweep at Great American Ballpark.

Max Fried was terrific again, tossing seven innings of one-run (unearned) ball while helping the Yankees (46-34) win for the fourth time in their last 13 games and maintain a one-game lead over the Rays atop the AL East.

Chisholm was not available for the final two and a half innings of Tuesday’s 11-inning loss after getting ejected in the ninth.

He had been upset about a called strike against him in the top of the ninth and then was still talking (he claimed) to himself at third base while taking grounders when he looked up and saw home plate umpire Mark Wegner staring at him.

Chisholm asked Wegner why he was looking at him, which was apparently enough to get him tossed.

Before Wednesday’s game, manager Aaron Boone indicated — perhaps slightly tongue-in-cheek — that Trevino “contributed to the ejection” by getting Wegner to look at Chisholm.

Video later surfaced via the YES Network that showed Trevino, who had come out on deck, appearing to tip off Wegner in Chisholm’s direction.
