“I didn’t think before I had anything that I said was ejectable but after probably,” Chisholm said. “I’m a competitor, so when I go out there and I feel like I’m right and you’re saying something to me that I think doesn’t make sense, I’m going to get fired up and be upset.”

“I lost my emotions. I lost my cool.” he added. “I got to be better than that. … I’m definitely mad at myself for losing my cool.”

That was Chisholm’s fifth career ejection and first with the Yankees.

Ben Rice had his first big league four-hit game and drove in two runs, while Oswaldo Cabrera hit a solo homer in the Yankees’ first game as a visitor at their spring training home.

Junior Caminero hit a two-run homer for the displaced Rays, who are playing this season at Steinbrenner Field because Hurricane Milton tore off the roof panels at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg on Oct 9.

Many fans in Tampa made it seem like the Bronx south. They chanted “Let’s go Yankees!” and cheered loudly for New York while the hometown fans in the crowd of 10,046 answered “Let’s go Rays!” at times.
