Benches clear in Blue Jays-Rays after Génesis Cabrera shoves José Caballero

MLB saw its second bench-clearing confrontation in as many days on Saturday between the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays. This one all started with a bunt.

The fun began with Rays infielder José Caballero putting a ball down in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and a man on third. Blue Jays third baseman Justin Turner fielded the bunt and threw the ball wide left of first base, allowing the Rays to extend their lead to 3-1.

Caballero kept going after Turner's fielding error and tried for third base, but was thrown out.
