Notes & reviews

Yankees manager Girardi ejected by HP umpire O'Nora for arguing that pitcher Dempster should be ejected for intentionally hitting Rodriguez when first pitch was behind him and next two inside before hitting him; umpire only issued warnings, leading to ejection
Yankees shortstop Eduardo Nunez left the game due to an injured ankle
HP umpire Brian O'Nora struck on the throat protector by the fourth pitch to Johnny Gomes; the protector struck his throat
