Young had not allowed a base hit before being tossed. A 1-2 pitch from Young came inside on Chicago's Derrek Lee, hitting him on the wrist. Lee had words for Young on his way to first base. Young pointed at first as he responded verbally and Lee stepped out of the baseline towards Young, throwing a punch that did not connect.
