Benches cleared between the Blue Jays and Rays after Ryan Borucki plunked Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier with a first pitch fastball. Borucki spoke with the media after the game.

"I missed arm-side,"Borucki said. "I miss arm-side a lot; I pitch inside all the time."

The kerfuffle comes after Monday's incident, where Kiermaier slid into home plate and picked up a Blue Jays data card that fell off catcher Alejandro Kirk's wristband. Kiermaier then handed the card, which contained the Blue Jays' strategies for pitching to Rays hitters, to a Tampa Bay coach. 

"Just my little opinion here: I thought he should've left it there," Borucki said of Kiermaier's decision to pick up the data card.
