During the Houston Astros' 15-1 win over the New York Yankees mlb shop black friday Tuesday, Carlos Gomez told Joe Girardi and the Yankees' dugout to "shut up," causing the benches to clear.

During the sixth-inning incident, Girardi instructed the "emotional" Gomez to "play the game the right way." In the eighth, Gomez nailed a three-run homer.

After the blowout, Gomez added he is not listening to Girardi, anyway.

"I don't care what Joe Girardi says," Gomez told ESPN Deportes' Marly Rivera.

Gomez said he understood the Yankees' frustration, but felt he wasn't trying to show them up.

"If they feel frustrated, that's not my problem," Gomez told Rivera. "This is part of the game, part of the nature of competition, and those who don't know how to compete, can just go home and cry."

The incident that caused the in-game back-and-forth took place in the sixth inning with Houston up 9-0. Gomez just missed a Chris Capuano mlb shop black Friday deals pitch and disappointedly flipped his bat toward his own dugout as he flied out to center. He also said something to himself.

That was too much emotion for some of the Yankees players and Girardi to handle while being blown out. Girardi said his players yelled something at Gomez, which Gomez said he didn't fully understand.

"When he came back, he started yelling at me," Girardi said. "I wasn't the guy who said anything. He is a kid, who plays hard, but there have been a number of clubs who have taken exception to some of the things he does on the field. It just got a little heated.

"I just told him, 'Play the game the right way.' They are kicking our rear ends, show a little professionalism to the pitcher. I know you missed a pitch and you are frustrated by it. I just think it is a little too much."

Gomez told the Yankees to "shut up" three times on his way back to the Astros' bench, which further infuriated the Yankees' bench. The benches cleared, but no punches were thrown. Gomez and John Ryan Murphy mlb shop black Friday deals, the Yankees' catcher, were the closest to each other during the altercation.

"I just think there was no room for that in a 9-0 game," Murphy said. "There's never any time for that, but I think especially in a 9-0 game, anything of that nature is [never] called for."

In the seventh, Gomez got payback by taking Capuano deep for a three-run homer. Gomez ran the around the bases in his customary excited fashion, but there were no extra histrionics.

As for Yankee catcher Brian McCann, he was on the bench during the incident. Two years ago, McCann famously had a showdown with Gomez at home plate after Gomez enjoyed a home run too much for McCann's liking. McCann played for Atlanta then, while Gomez was with Milwaukee.

McCann was not in the Yankees' postgame clubhouse. It is unknown if he was one of the players who yelled at Gomez.

As for Gomez, he said he was just seeking some clarity in his return to the dugout.

"I did not understand very well what people were yelling at me," Gomez said. "I just asked mlb shop black friday promo code, 'Why are you yelling at me?' And then someone came out of the dugout and started screaming, and I said, 'Shut up, shut up; if you want to tell me something, come here and say what you have to say.'"

Carlos Gomez was up to his old antics, and that didn't sit well with the New York Yankees in the middle of a blowout.

Gomez and Evan Gattis both homered and drove in four runs, sending Dallas Keuchel and the Houston Astros mlb shop cyber monday to a 15-1 rout that briefly got testy Tuesday night.

Keuchel (15-6) held the Yankees scoreless for the second time this season and became the first 15-game winner in the American League. Gomez busted out of a hitting slump and rankled the Yankees with his flashy style.

"If you misunderstand the way I play the game, it's your fault," Gomez said. "I don't care how the other team feels. I only care how my team feels. And the only thing I know is like, every time I come here, all my teammates love me."

Gomez jawed with the Yankees after flipping his bat aside in frustration when he flied out in the sixth inning. He turned toward the New York dugout and appeared to say "shut up" several times.

"Some of our guys took exception to it and I think they took even a little more exception when he started yelling at our dugout," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Just got a little heated."

"I just told him, `Play the game right," Girardi added. "Show a little professionalism to the pitcher."

On his way back across the field, Gomez stood nose to nose with young catcher John Ryan Murphy cyber monday mlb shop before they were separated.

"I don't mean to disrespect anybody," Gomez said. "If you're screaming at me, I'm going to scream at you back."

Both benches and bullpens emptied, but the teams quickly went their respective ways without any pushing or shoving.

"I don't think there's any place for that, especially in a 9-0 game," Murphy said. "He's an energetic guy. Everybody knows that. We respect him as a baseball player, just, there's a right way and a wrong way to play the game."

His next time up, Gomez launched a three-run homer into the Yankees' bullpen in right-center to cap a six-run seventh.

It was hardly the first time opponents have been irritated by Gomez and his antics.

Back when he was playing for Milwaukee and current Yankees catcher Brian McCann was in Atlanta, the two got into a scuffle when McCann blocked Gomez's path to home plate after the slugger styled on a home run.

This time, McCann was on the Yankees' bench -- rested against a lefty starter.

"He's my friend. It's in the past," Gomez said. "Everybody knows what happened in Atlanta, but it's nothing, nothing about that."

Gomez flipped his bat and held out his arms when he lined an RBI double during Houston's five-run first inning against Ivan Nova mlb shop cyber monday deals (5-6). The speedster slid headfirst into second with his first extra-base hit in 18 games and pointed toward his own dugout.

"He's a guy you love on your team and if he's on another team, I can see why some guys don't like him," Keuchel said. "He's playing hard and we love that. We'll enjoy that every game and hopefully he can lead us to a playoff berth."

Keuchel yielded three hits in seven innings with nine strikeouts and no walks. He struck out 12 in a six-hit shutout at home against the Yankees on June 25.

New York scratched out a run in the ninth this time against Vince Velasquez.

In a lopsided matchup of AL division leaders, the most effective Yankees pitcher was backup infielder Brendan Ryan. He worked two scoreless innings in his first major league appearance on the mound and was the only New York hurler who didn't give up multiple runs.

Marwin Gonzalez mlb shop cyber monday promo code homered for the Astros, who had 15 hits and batted around three times in the first seven innings after manager A.J. Hinch shuffled his lineup. Houston, which equaled last season's total of 70 wins, managed only 17 runs in its previous eight games -- no more than three in any of them.

"We needed an offensive outburst like that," Hinch said.

AWAY FROM HOME

The Astros won for only the fifth time in their last 23 road games. They had gone 20 straight innings without scoring at Yankee Stadium.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Astros: His right hand wrapped, OF George Springer (broken wrist) took batting practice with the team and went through a regular pregame routine. The club won't decide when Springer will begin a minor league rehab assignment until after he takes BP again Wednesday. He has been out since July 2.

Yankees: 1B Mark Teixeira was back in the lineup after missing seven games with a bruised right shin. But he barely jogged to first on a fourth-inning groundout and was removed in the seventh. "That's all I got. I ran as hard as I could," Teixeira said. He finished 0 for 2 with a called strikeout.

UP NEXT

Yankees: RHP Michael Pineda comes off the DL to start a Wednesday matinee. Sidelined since July 30 with a strained right forearm, Pineda (9-7, 3.97) owns the best strikeout-to-walk ratio (117/15) in the majors among pitchers who have thrown at least 100 innings.

Astros: RHP Collin McHugh mlb shop cyber monday coupon code (13-7, 3.96) takes the ball in the series finale. He tossed eight innings of two-hit ball to beat Pineda at home on June 28.

Carlos Gomez and the Houston Astros dominated Ivan Nova and the New York Yankees 15-1 during a game in which the benches cleared and ended with Brendan Ryan mlb shop thanksgiving day, usually an infielder, pitching two innings.

Shut up: Gomez and Brian McCann have some history, going to back to when they went face-to-face a few years ago, but it was apparently someone on the bench with whom Gomez got into it in the sixth.

Returning toward the Astros' dugout after flying out, Gomez, still on the first-base line, apparently heard something he didn't like and said "Shut up" three times toward the Yankees' bench. The benches cleared, but no punches were thrown.

The Yankees might have been disputing Gomez's reaction at the end of his swing to flying out. He acted overly disappointed, which the Yankees might have thought was wrong in a 9-0 game. We'll try to find out in the postgame interviews.

Now, really shut up: In the seventh, Gomez nailed a three-run homer off Chris Capuano thanksgiving day mlb shop. He didn't do any anything out of the ordinary in terms of showboating around the bases, but he seemed to enjoy it.

Brendan Ryan pitches: With the Yankees down 15 runs,Brendan Ryan pitched the the final two innings. He threw two scoreless inning with one pitch making its way to the plate at 86-mph. He fired a 1-2-3 ninth that ended with a hard lineout to third from Gomez. He was the Yankees' best pitcher on the night.

Ivan the Terrible: Nova's line was U-G-L-Y. He pitched four innings, allowing seven runs (all earned) on seven hits. He walked four and struck out one. He is 5-6 with 4.50 ERA.

First degree: The biggest pitching no-no got the best of Nova in the first inning. His two-out walk to Carlos Correa mlb shop thanksgiving day deals began what turned into a five-run inning. The whole thing might've been avoided if Jacoby Ellsbury didn't break late on a soft liner to center from the ensuing batter Colby Rasmus. Ellsbury missed on his diving attempt, turning a potential out into an RBI triple.

The rest was on Nova as he allowed doubles to Gomez and Luis Valbuena mlb shop thanksgiving day promo code and a single to Marwin Gonzalez, which led to a 5-0 deficit.

White flag: In the seventh, Yankees manager Joe Girardi signaled he was playing for another day as he moved Ryan from second base to right field. Ryan had played the spot before.

Cap day: Capuano pitched in relief, which means he could be designated for assignment again on Wednesday morning. Capuano went two innings and gave up six earned runs.

Domination: Dallas Keuchel has now pitched 16 innings against the Yankees -- all scoreless. If these teams meet in the playoffs, that may be brought up.

Yankees score: The Yankees scored in the ninth on Greg Bird fielder's choice. Bird came in for Mark Teixeira during the blowout. Teixiera ran gingerly to first on a groundout.

On deck: Michael Pinea (9-7, 3.97) makes his return from the disabled list. He will face Collin McHugh mlb shop thanksgiving day coupon code (13-7, 3.96). It is a 1:05 p.m. start.
