    Boone was tossed by Diaz after Anthony Volpe got called out on strikes against reliever Bryan Shaw to begin the eighth inning. He then made the most of his American League-leading sixth ejection.

    Boone ran to home plate and went into arm-waving theatrics.

    The manager bent down and drew a line in the dirt with his finger at the edge of the left-handed batter’s box, demonstrating where he thought the pitch was, and then mimicked Diaz emphatically calling strike three.

    Boone said he heard from “quite a few” of his fellow managers, adding it was “a lot of funny stuff, mostly.”
