NEW YORK – Mike Schild had been watching well and he was so mad at Plate Judge Adrian Johnson that he threw his glasses and made the sight.
A tantrum by the San Diego manager fired the Padres following the first major league discharge of star slugger Fernando Tatis Jr. The Padres overcame three deficits in eight innings, defeating the New York Yankees 4-3 on Sogie’s Monday night, extending their winning streak to six.
“Silty came down the tunnel and he was still chirping,” said Xander Bogaertz, who hit a two-run single from Luke Weaver, following Manny Machado’s two-run double. “I think he was ready to fight.”

Tatis was kicked out after a strikeout, and Silt jumped out onto the field and threw lineup cards and glasses. He discussed very loudly with Johnson and first-based referee Quinn Walcott, with third-based coach Tim Leiper running when intervention was required.
“My glasses made it. I certainly had my head around me,” Schilt said after the match. “I got some – a lot of BPS on my shoulders can’t operate as much as I would like, but it worked and I made sure it stays in the grass. I didn’t want to hurt them. I really like these glasses.”
Devin Williams came in with a 3-0 lead, walking Tyler Wade one by one in the eighth, before giving up a single to Brandon Rockridge. Williams threw four straight changeups to Tatis, his famous airbender. The two-time All-Star took third in the lower part of the strike zone in Strike 2, swinging around even lower pitches.
He said something to Johnson’s left ear before heading out to the dugout and was quickly kicked out. Tatis said it was his first ejection since the 18-year-old winter ball.
“Oh, what did I say? I forgot,” Tatis said with a laugh. “I’m pleased that the boy was hyped.”
“I was complaining about all the games. It was a rough night,” he added. “After the strikeout, I let him know what I thought.”
The San Diego players were encouraged by emotions. “You can feel it, it’s energy,” Wade said.
Three-time batting champion Louis Arez walked with four straight fastballs.

“Tatis made me hot,” said Alez. “I love Mike Schilt. He supports the players and when I saw that, I said: ‘We’re back!”
Yankees manager Aaron Boone brought in Weaver, who never gave up on his run in 13 appearances this season. Machado doubled with a 1-1 fastball, reducing the deficit to 3-2, while Bogart singled with a first pitch cutter.
“Tati had some pitches [he] I disagree – I previously disagree and knew the comments from the dugout. Leave and pass over his mouth, and the next thing you know he was kicked out walking away with his back for his first major league drain. ”
Silt’s emissions were the 15th in his six seasons of major league management career.
“I probably have the least player ejection in my time management, so our players stay in the game and they have very respect for the referee,” he said. “I let the body of a judge-grade piece speak of itself, and we leave it as is.”
