New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has been suspended one game for?his confrontation with umpire Nic Lentz during Friday's game against
the Detroit Tigers Josh Donaldson Jersey , according to?Joe Trezza of MLB.com.Boone came out to argue a strike thrown by Detroit pitcher Jordan Zimmerman, and his
baseball cap barely made contact with Lentz.?Per Trezza, MLB chief operating
officer Joe Torre?determined that Boone's slight contact "violated the league's
policy," and the decision was made to give him a one-game suspension.Aaron Boone
really just went to home plate, squatted, and showed the home-plate umpire why
he was wrong before he cussed him out. Incredible. pic.twitter.com/24ATMGXyja—
Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) September 1, 2018Per Trezza, bench coach Josh Bard
will manage the Yankees on Sunday in place of Boone, whose ejection Friday
marked the third of his career. Bard played in the majors from 2002-2011 as a
catcher and was hired to join Boone's stuff for this season, after two years
with the Los Angeles Dodgers.advertising"I accept it. Obviously, I got a little
too close for comfort there Joe Carter Jersey , so that's part of the deal, Boone said, per Trezza. "I was arguing, I got kicked out of the game...Unfortunately, I got a little too close,
and I do regret that". Credit: Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY SportsThe Yankees enter
play on Sunday with an 86-50 record, and they seem like a lock to host the AL
Wild Card game. New York will easily surpass the 91 wins they reached last
season with manager Joe Girardi, who wasn't brought back despite leading his
team to within one victory of the World Series.Boone was brought in to help the
Yankees reach that next level, and though they certainly won't be catching the
AL East-leading Boston Red Sox, this unit has all the makings to be a World
Series contender. It's been an excellent first year as manager for Boone, and he
knows what must be done to avoid?further trouble.advertising"Next time I'll flip
the cap around backwards and let it rip http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-j.a.-happ-jersey ," Boone said.?"Hopefully I'll be better, learning from this, and learn to control
my emotions in a better way." PHOENIX — The Los Angeles Dodgers ruined Arizona’s
season.The Diamondbacks could do a little something about it this week.The
Dodgers knocked Arizona out of first place in the NL West with three consecutive
comeback victories on the first weekend of September, winning all three on their
final at-bat by the same score, 3-2.Article continues below ...The Diamondbacks
are 5-17 since as they prepare to host the division-leading Dodgers in a
three-game series that begins Monday at Chase Field.“I feel like that was an
extremely tough series … to give everything you have … this team was invested
and we were in first place, talking about good things happening at the end of
this road,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said.“It definitely staggered us. Have
we recovered? I would like to say we did, but our play has told us that we have
not.”The Diamondbacks left that series in third place, and the Dodgers climbed
back into first with a three-game sweep of Colorado last week. The Dodgers
(87-69) will bring a 1 1/2-game lead over the Rockies into final week of the
season and also are only one game behind Atlanta for possible home field
advantage in the first round of the playoffs.“There were a couple more gut
punches in that Atlanta series that may have been some key blows,” said Lovullo
referring a series in which the Diamondbacks lost three of four the weekend
after playing the Dodgers.“It was a lot to absorb. The L.A. series is one that
maybe a lot of people will see as a target.”Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw
(8-5, 2.45) is scheduled to oppose Arizona left-hander Robbie Ray
(6-2 Kendrys Morales Jersey , 3.92) in the first game of the series. Kershaw has made 14 straight quality starts.While the Dodgers are contending for a playoff
spot, there will be no lack of motivation on the Arizona side.“It is hard to say
you are going to pay people back in sports, because they are gifted athletes,
too,” Lovullo said. “But we should make it as hard on them as possible to do
what they are trying to do. “That will be my message to the guys. I certainly
don’t want to see any team celebrate on our turf. I watched it last year and it
was painful, and I don’t want to watch it again. We’ll make sure we give
everything we have the next several days.”The Dodgers swept the Diamondbacks in
the NLDS last season, finishing if off in Arizona.The Dodgers have won 15 of 22
games and have won nine of their last 11.They have a franchise season record 225
homers, setting the mark on newcomer Manny Machado’s homer Saturday night.“We
have great hitters here,” Machado told reporters Saturday. “We’re all confident.
We know the team we have.”Machado, who had another homer Sunday, had one of the
Dodgers’ four homers in the critical series against Arizona at the first of the
month. Matt Kemp won the third game of the series with a three-run homer in the
eighth inning Sept. 1 Jesse Barfield Jersey , and his two-run walkoff double ended the Sept. 2 game.Kershaw will have one more start remaining after this unless the Dodgers
have clinched a playoff berth by next weekend and opt to juggle the rotation to
prepare for the playoffs. If Kershaw does make two starts, he could put himself
high on the ERA leaderboard because he is only 11 2/3 innings short of
qualifying. The Mets’ Jacob deGrom has a 1.77 ERA and will win the title, but
Kershaw could nose out Aaron Nola (2.45) and Max Scherzer (2.57) for
second.Kershaw has won his last five decisions and has not lost since July 21,
when Milwaukee scored three unearned runs in a 4-2 victory. He has a 2.22 ERA
during his string of 14 quality start and has faced the Diamondbacks four times
this season, going 1-1 with a 2.42 ERA.Ray has won his last three decisions over
12 starts and has not lost since July 12. He has given up three runs or less in
each of his last nine starts and two runs or less in eight of them. He is coming
off a 9-0 victory over the Cubs in which he gave up one hit and struck out eight
in six innings.Ray has faced the Dodgers once this season, a 3-1 victory on Aug.
30 in the first game of that series in Los Angeles. He is 7-3 with a 2.63 ERA
against them in 14 career starts, the most he has faced any opponent.
