He gave up a home run to Yankees slugger Aaron Judge in the Blue Jays’ 7-4 loss to New York on Monday.

Jackson and Blue Jays manager John Schneider said after the game that they were both suspicious of Judge’s eighth-inning at-bat, as he continued to face the visitors’ dugout at Rogers Center, instead of facing the field. mound.
