Toronto Blue Jays All-Star Alek Manoah fired back at New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole on Sunday night following their dust-up at Yankee Stadium.

Manoah hit Aaron Judge with a pitch in the fifth inning. Cole came out of the dugout yelling toward Manoah and appeared to advocate for the pitcher’s ejection. Cooler heads prevailed on the field, but Manoah had some fiery words for Cole after the game was over.

"I made a pitch, obviously it hit Judge," Manoah said. "Obviously, I looked at him and I said, ‘Man, I’m not trying to do that.' I think he understood that. I think if Gerrit wants to do something, he can walk past the Audi sign (in front of the Yankees dugout) next time."

Cole had to be kept away by bench coach Carlos Mendoza before Judge and Manoah appeared to discuss what happened while the outfielder walked to first base.

"It was just one too many (dustings) for my taste," Cole said.
