BOSTON -- The bad blood is back in baseball's most intense rivalry.
Twice the benches cleared in Wednesday night's game at Fenway Park between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, and Yankees designated hitter Tyler Austin was the in the middle of everything.
During the second clearing of the benches, there were punches and pushes.
It all began in the bottom of the third inning, when Austin was a runner on first base. As Yankees second baseman Tyler Wade laid down a bunt along the third-base line, Austin raced to second base where he slid into Red Sox shortstop Brock Holt.
