ST. PETERSBURG -- Troy Tulowitzki took exception to a late slide by Tampa Bay's Steven Souza Jr. and the end result was a benches-clearing incident during Sunday's series finale between the Blue Jays and Rays.
Souza was attempting to break up a double play at second base during the second inning, but his slide into second appeared to be a little bit late and a little bit high. Tulowitzki immediately reacted, and had some words for the Rays' outfielder as the dugouts emptied.
Cooler heads eventually prevailed, but not before players and personnel from both sides spilled over onto the field.
