"The audacity of the call standing is remarkable," Boone said postgame, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. "It's a home run."
Boone got his money's worth after Judge was called out on strikes, giving the umpires an earful to earn his first ejection of the season.
"It was a fair ball, but that's why you got replay," Judge said, according to The Associated Press. "It's tough in a situation like this where in a minor-league park the foul poles aren't as high, so that’s why you have replay, you got every angle. It's a terrible call."
Judge finished the game with one hit in four at-bats and a pair of strikeouts as the Yankees improved to 14-8 on the season.
