Yankees manager Joe Girardi was not happy with David Ortiz's bat flip following his home run off reliever Hector Noesi in the fifth inning on Tuesday night.
"I didn't care for it," Girardi said.
The manager went on to say, "I don't know if [Ortiz] was upset that he came in hard on him."
Ortiz said he wasn't upset.
"That's Papi style," he kidded. "It's not the first time and it's not my last one. I'm a home run hitter.
"It's not like I do it all the time," he added. "What can I tell you? Just another homer for Papi."
Girardi did say: "I never had a problem with David. David has always played the game hard. I'm just protecting my young kid."
