NEW YORK — Major League Baseball is investigating manager Alex Cora and the Red Sox after Cora insinuated that the club threw at Yankees’ Aaron Judge in Saturday’s contest, a league source confirmed Monday. The investigation was described as standard practice and no decision was made as of Monday afternoon.

In the sixth inning of Saturday's game, Red Sox starter Brayan Bello faced Aaron Judge and threw the first pitch behind his knees, missing the Yankees slugger. On Sunday, Cora appeared to admit that this was when the Red Sox were trying to even the score by hitting Judge on purpose.

Major League Baseball is looking into Alex Cora’s comments that suggested the Red Sox threw at Aaron Judge on purpose. The league was reviewing the situation with no decision reached as of late Monday morning. Cora, the Red Sox manager, suggested Sunday that his team had its “chance” at retribution on Saturday.
