NEW YORK — Astros manager A.J. Hinch said it was an ugly scene at Yankee Stadium for Houston outfielders and the bullpen and he would pull his team if fans started throwing objects on the field again.

"I will pull the team off the field if we get in that situation again," Hinch said before Game 4 of the American League Championship Series against the Yankees.

"It would be a very ugly scene for baseball, a very ugly seen for the Yankees, if one of our guys was hit by something from the upper deck. Something tragic could happen and nobody wants that."

Astros right fielder Josh Reddick said fans threw water bottles and souvenir baseballs on the field during Game 3 and called the situation "scary."

“It’s frustrating to see that as a player in the outfield," said Reddick after Game 3. "We’re usually the ones throwing stuff at you.

“It’s definitely disrespectful, and at the same time, very unsafe.’’

The Yankees also host Game 5 on Friday before the series shifts to Houston, if necessary.
