Aaron Judge: Was looking at 'chirping' Yankees, not for signal

TORONTO -- Aaron Judge said he was trying to identify which of his teammates was yelling at plate umpire Clint Vondrak when he peeked into his own dugout before hitting a 462-foot home run in the New York Yankees' 7-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night.

The Yankees slugger looked sideways for a moment before driving a 114.9 mph scorcher off right-hander Jay Jackson.

"There was kind of a lot of chirping from our dugout, which I really didn't like in the situation," Judge said.

New York led 6-0 at the time, and three pitches earlier, Vondrak had ejected Yankees manager Aaron Boone for arguing a low strike call to Judge. Boone came out of the dugout to vent at Vondrak and crew chief James Hoye.

• Toronto's broadcasters noticed Judge peeking into his own dugout before his homer and speculated he was looking for some kind of signal.

"It's kind of odd that a hitter would be looking in that direction," Blue Jays manager John Schneider said.

Judge said some of his teammates were still voicing their displeasure as his at-bat continued.

"I feel like after the manager does his thing, it's like, 'Fellas, our pitcher has still got to go out there and make some pitches. We've got the lead, let's just go to work here,'" Judge said. "I said a couple of things to some guys in the dugout and especially after the game. Hopefully it won't happen again."

Boone said he understood Judge's frustration with the dugout distraction.

"Judgie was kind of looking over like, 'I'm hitting here,'" Boone said.
