The Yankees beat the Cincinnati Reds in a convincing 6-2 win. But the game had its controversies for the Bronx Bombers. After pitching 4 scoreless innings, Schmidt was subjected to an umpire’s check. Although there were no problems with his pitching hand, there seemed to be a problem with his gloved hand. The four umpires allowed Schmidt to wash his hands in the clubhouse and continue to pitch.

During the interview, Judge said, “You know, I think everything, I think the same thing that’s going through everything else’s mind. You know, uh, just wondering what’s going to happen in that situation, and yeah. I really don’t know what really transpired, but he came back on the mound and kept pitching. You know, I haven’t really dove into exactly what happened or what transpired or what was said, so he was still out there pitching. That’s all I was focused on.”
