Try it freeThere was a double play in the bottom of the eighth inning on Wednesday night.
Just probably not the one the Yankees wanted.
Both Aaron Boone and Devin Williams were tossed in the frame as the Astros grabbed the lead late in the game.


As Williams allowed a bases-loaded walk that gave Houston a 5-4 edge, he was pulled from the game and had some words for home plate Brian Walsh, who promptly tossed him from the game.
Boone then got in the face of Walsh before getting an early exit himself.
Camilo Doval entered, but things did not get better for the Yankees, who trailed 8-4 when the inning was over, after the righty allowed an RBI single, balked in a run and then uncorked a wild pitch to bring in another.
The ejections come one day after Jose Caballero was tossed in Tuesday night’s win in Houston.
