The Yankees’ CC Sabathia is ejected in the 6th inning of his team’s 12 – 1 win over Tampa Bay, for throwing at Jesus Sucre in apparent retaliation for Andrew Kittredge throwing a pitch near C Austin Romine’s head in the top of the inning. The ejection is literally costly, as it leaves CC two innings short of 155 on the year, a total which would have netted him a bonus of $500,000 had he reached it. The gesture will also result in a five-game suspension for Sabathia, to be served at the start of the 2019 season. The Yankees will decide in December to pay him the bonus anyway.
