MLB launched a brief investigation into recent remarks from Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora in which he hinted that pitcher Brayan Bello may have intentionally thrown at (or behind) New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge during their weekend matchup.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora insinuated that starting pitcher Brayan Bello purposefully threw at Yankees superstar Aaron Judge in the sixth inning as revenge for Gerrit Cole hitting Rafael Devers in the first inning. Cora was asked if he considered Saturday’s Devers’ intentional walk and hit-by-pitch incident closed.

Aaron Boone, who is good friends with Cora, mostly brushed off his counterparts’ remarks, chalking them up to “gamesmanship” and trying to “rally the troops” as the Red Sox fought to keep their playoff hopes alive.
