Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora will not face suspension from the MLB after seemingly hinting that pitcher Brayan Bello purposefully threw at New York Yankees star Aaron Judge on Saturday, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com.

Bello threw a first pitch behind Judge's legs in the sixth inning of the Red Sox's 7-1 win.

The New York Post's Mark W. Sanchez reported on Monday that the MLB was investigating Cora after the Boston manager said his team had a sixth-inning "chance" of retribution for an earlier hit-by-pitch.

The controversy stemmed from when Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole hit Red Sox batter Rafael Devers with a pitch in Saturday's first inning. Cora told reporters after the game he believed the contact was intentional.

At Devers' next at-bat in the fourth, Cole intentionally walked him with the bases empty and one out.

Devers previously had batted .333 in 39 at-bats against Cole while hitting eight home runs off the Yankees pitcher, per MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.

Cora said after the game that he "wasn't surprised at all" by Cole's intentional walk.

"He doesn't want to face him. That's the bottom line," Cora told reporters. "He told us with the intentional walk that the first at-bat he hit him."

Cora was then asked by a reporter on Sunday if he believed the situation was "a closed case."

"Yeah," Cora answered, per MLB.com's Ian Browne. "It was closed yesterday, like, around the sixth inning, so you know, we had our chance. It didn't happen. We have to move on."

Bello's sinker in the sixth inning clocked in at 97.4 miles per hour behind Judge.

According to Cotillo, the MLB "investigated the matter over the last two days and spoke with Cora about his comments."

Following that investigation a source told Cotillo that "no announcement of a suspension is forthcoming."

The Yankees outfielder responded to Cora's comment by saying he believed the incident was part of the Red Sox "protecting their players."

"Things like that happen... something's got to happen and that's the way this game kind of gets policed and has been policed for 100 years," Judge told reporters, per Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe. "So the biggest thing is don't miss when you do it."

Judge and the Yankees got the last laugh over Cora and the Red Sox, as New York came back on Sunday to claim a 5-2 win with their third victory in the four-game weekend series.
