The bad blood between the Yankees and Devil Rays spilled over on Wednesday.

In the second inning on Wednesday, Yankees' first baseman Shelley Duncan slid hard, spikes high, into Rays' second baseman Akinori Iwamura. Duncan was subsequently tackled by Rays' right fielder Jonny Gomes, clearing the benches.

On Sunday, the Rays' Elliot Johnson barreled into Yankees' catching prospect Francisco Cervelli at home plate. Cervelli broke his wrist in the collision, and Joe Girardi complained about the play afterwards, saying it was unnecesary in a spring training game.
