When the national anthem ended ahead of Thursday's game, Ashcraft and fellow Reds pitcher Carson Spiers remained in front of the visitors dugout on the third-base side of Yankee Stadium while New York pitchers Ian Hamilton and Cody Poteet held out on the first-base side. Their showdown extended for more than five minutes as players ignored gestures from the umpires instructing them to vacate the field so the game could begin. Ashcraft won the battle, pumping a fist and getting high-fives and cheers from teammates when he outlasted his Yankees counterparts before the Reds' 8-4 win Thursday. "That also set the tone," said Spencer Steer, whose three-run homer in the fifth inning gave Cincinnati a 5-0 lead. Steer praised Ashcraft, using the pitcher's given first name, Douglas. "That was pretty awesome of Doug just to kind of win that one for us and kind of give us a little edge before the first pitch," Steer said. All four players ignored plate umpire Alan Porter, who made a shooing motion with both hands. Porter then dispatched third-base umpire Jim Wolf to urge them off the field. "Lucas Sims didn't have a hat out there, so he took my hat, didn't want to be standing there without a hat on the Fourth of July," Spiers said, referring to another Reds pitcher. "So me being a rookie, I was standing there without a hat, whatever, looking dumb. And then, as the thing was ending, Sims was like: 'Spiers, you got to stay here until the last one.' So I was like, all right, whatever. I'll stay. Sure enough, their guys stayed, too. So I was like, 'Oh god, here I go. Like, I'm in for it a long time.' And I saw Graham kind of slide over with me, and from there it was the long haul." They had a brief reprieve when Porter returned to the umpires clubhouse to retrieve a shin guard. Being a rookie making the $740,000 minimum, Spiers decided to peel off first. "Thinking about the fine and knowing that I couldn't afford it," he said. "So I just made a business decision." New York's pitchers, both on the injured list, finally walked off after manager Aaron Boone gestured for them to leave. "A little competition within the game, I guess," Poteet said. "That's probably the first one I've ever been a part of but it took all the way to the very last bit where it's getting close to the game starting." Ashcraft, in his third major league season, has a slightly higher salary at $750,000. He started and got the win in Tuesday's series opener and wasn't going to pitch in Thursday's game. "We saw they weren't moving and one of the guys told Carson to stay, and I was like, 'I'm staying with you because I'm not moving,'" Ashcraft said. "'I ain't got nothing to do today. I'm staying until I win or I get ejected or both.'" 2022 03 21 11.47.16 SDWPs Hero 20211020 104950 1063726628 2022 03 21 12.01.45 IMG 1636 1536x1024 HVC Website Images Hero 1 Puh0bs67w18l13nn87s2fdphgts2pq7c8cn7bjaw0w San Diego Services Banner Tr Default Award 2 ?width=396&height=242&ext= &format=webp Image010 Serv 1homecare Pic3 1611869223 Yis Ebookhomecaresdseniorresourcelistv31 211007094326 Thumbnail ?width=640&height=640&fit=bounds SD HaH ?itok=QYCuiWwG Community Support 3 958x719 Screenshot 2022 11 10 112359 ?media Id=100077508127154 Sdhc Logo 300x100 ?media Id=100077960311787 Firstat Nursing Services Home Care 768x514 Logo ?media Id=5851268538234644 469843499 300x200 Behealth 1 600x480 Img 9390.webp Screen Shot 2021 12 14 At 3.29.25 PM Twp San Diego 0e84b3c5 97f8 4065 835d A259c15f3b95 Welcome Home Cover Jpg GettyImages 1152602785 720x480 LWSD PARTNER PAIR HHSA 480x199 Home Care In California 768x644 Depositphotos 171119178 XL Scaled 494384783m 1170x500
