After the second of those pitches forced Schwarber to jump out of the batter box, home plate governor Jerry Mills warned both benches.

“I think they were trying to hit him,” Joe Girardi, Philez’s manager, said of Schwarber. “But that’s part of the game. We didn’t try to hit [Francisco] Lindor. We didn’t try to hit anyone there. But I understand. You get hit a few times, and you start making an exception. I think we hit them with some chipping balls in our garden, but that wasn’t on purpose.”

Lindor hit a court in the eighth inning of Sunday’s game, bringing the total of the MLB leaders to 20 hitting batsmen. No other team has more than 16.
