Notes & reviews

Jason Grimsley's first pitch was over the head of Edgar Martinez; the next hit Martinez; Grimsley ejected by HP umpire Gary Cederstrom
Yankees manager Joe Torre ejected by 1B umpire Doug Eddings
the Yankees expected Frank Rodriguez to be ejected; HP umpire Gary Cederstrom walked to the mound and talked to Rodriguez; as Mariners manager Lou Piniella walked out to change pitchers, Cederstrom walked towards the Ynkees bench; 3B coach Willie Randolph got between Cederstrom and the bench; Yankees coach (and acting manager) Don Zimmer came out to argue with Cederstrom; Rodriguez started yelling at the Yankees; Joe Girardi, in the on deck area, challenged Rodriguez; the two started fighting and the benches cleared; players from both sides threw multiple punches but Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez stood aside and talked as the fight slowed down; Chad Curtis later called Jeter out about that in front of reporters; Girardi was the only person ejected by Cederstrom
