Stanton puts out the Fiers

TORONTO — Giancarlo Stanton didn’t pay any mind to Mike Fiers calling his home run antics “childish” on Monday. “I don’t know about it, I don’t care about it,” Stanton told the Daily News on Tuesday. Stanton and Fiers have a history, as Fiers hit Stanton in the face in September 2014.

On Monday, Fiers hit Stanton in the left forearm during the third inning, angering the slugger. The two barked at one another and Stanton appeared ready to head toward the mound before eventually making his way to first.

In his next at-bat during the sixth, Stanton blasted a 456-foot homer off Fiers and flipped his bat emphatically. Stanton took his time rounding the bases before pointing at Fiers when he reached the plate.

“I understand that he’s pissed, but the way he handled it was kind of childish,” Fiers said. “Anybody watching this game knows I’m not throwing at him. He’s going to act how he’s going to act, but it kind of shows his character. Obviously I wasn’t throwing at him.”

JUDGE SITS

Aaron Judge, as expected, got Tuesday’s game off. Stanton hit in Judge’s customary No. 2 hole.

Judge struck out eight times in Monday’s doubleheader in Detroit.

“I talked to him about this probably before we went on this road trip, just with the stretch of games and a doubleheader mixed in there,” Aaron Boone said of Judge. “I’ve talked to you guys a lot about trying to pick a day here for everyone, and the fact that we rode him through a doubleheader, I just felt like today - getting in late, onto the turf, he’s been a guy that obviously I’ve leaned on a lot. I think I gave him one day off and he probably came into the game that day anyway. I just felt like it was a good time.”

WARREN REPORT

Adam Warren didn’t pitch well in his return from the disabled list on Monday, but Boone though it was a step in the right direction. In 1.1 innings, Warren walked three and gave up a double.

DIDI SPEEDS

Didi Gregorius got hit by a pitch on the left foot. He also fouled a ball off his right foot.

“I try to keep it balanced,” said Gregorius, who added that he’s fine.

It could hurt him in his quest to become one of the best base stealers in all of baseball. Jokingly, of course.

“Nah, I’m not going to be even close to that,” Gregorius said.

On Tuesday, Gregorius stole his eighth base of the season — already establishing a career high for steals in a season.

Gregorius said it was the product of a spring conversation with Boone, who wanted him to be more aggressive in that department.
