'Savage' tirade gets Boone 1-game suspension

Aaron Boone's "savage" rant has netted him a one-game suspension.

The New York Yankees manager was disciplined a day after being ejected from Thursday's 6-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

Boone was also fined an undisclosed amount for "inappropriate actions, including contact with the home plate umpire" during a tirade in which he called his own players "f---ing savages" and told umpire Brennan Miller, "Tighten it up right now, OK?" Boone was ejected for his outburst.

Boone, along with players Brett Gardner and DJ LeMahieu, was upset with some of Miller's strike calls. Miller is an International League crew chief who made his big league debut April 20 as a call-up umpire and was behind the plate for the fifth time in the majors.

The manager will miss the opener of the Yankees' home series against the Colorado Rockies.

His rant was met with raves from his players, with slugger Luke Voit saying Thursday, "Not a lot of coaches I think would back it up and use that type of word, but I think we appreciate it -- and we are a bunch of savages."

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
