Benches cleared during the Yankees–Rays clash on Sunday after Randy Arozarena was hit by a pitch from Albert Abreu in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Arozarena took exception to the inside fastball from Abreu, nearly slamming his bat in frustration before turning to face the mound and attempt to approach the pitcher. He was held back by home plate umpire Adam Beck, but the outfielder continued to jaw at Abreu, who eventually began chirping back.

The Little League World Series Championship game featured a matchup between the top team from the international side — the Caribbean region team from Willemstad, Curacao — and the top team from the United States side — the West region team from El Segundo, California.
California faced the Southwest region team from Needville, Texas in the United States final. In their previous matchup, Texas defeated California (3-1). But, the West champions won the game that matter, a 6-1 victory in the United States final, to reach the championship game.
It’s a heated day at Tropicana Field. The failing New York Yankees are in town to take on the Tampa Bay Rays and Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is stirring up drama.
Arozarena was plunked in the bottom of the eighth inning by Bombers reliever Albert Abrea, with the Rays up 6-4.
Abreu’s fastball to the ribs, on a 3-1 count, set Arozarena off. It didn’t take long for the outfielder to start barking at the Yankees reliever, which sparked a benches-clearing altercation.
Despite Team USA’s opening 99-72 victory over New Zealand in the FIBA World Cup, Brandon Ingram voiced his frustration over lack of playing time in an interview with Joe Vardon of The Athletic on Sunday.

“This is totally different than what I am used to,” Ingram told Vardon. “The team is winning right now, so I can’t be selfish thinking about myself.
