There was a brief point in the 5th inning where tempers flared between the Blue Jays and Red Sox, and don’t be surprised if it happens again this weekend.
In case you missed it, the dust up happened during the Blue Jays’ 9-run 5th inning, and not long after Hansel Robles had entered the game to relieve Nate Eovaldi for Boston. In his second at-bat of the inning, Randal Grichuk was hit on the elbow by an errant fastball from Robles, and it looked like some of the Blue Jays thought it might have been intentional.
