Yanks cruise in testy win
By Gregor Chisholm / MLB.com
The Yankees' surge up the standings continued on Tuesday, with a little spice thrown into the mix. Alex Rodriguez was hit in the leg on the first pitch he saw in the third inning, setting off two separate bench-clearing incidents. No one was ejected at the time, but Roger Clemens was tossed after hitting Alex Rios in the seventh.

Jays no match for Rocket
By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com
If Josh Towers' plunking of Alex Rodriguez in the third inning was meant to spark his own offense, the tactic backfired. Tensions flared after A-Rod was hit, leading to two separate bench-clearing incidents and a seven-run outburst by the Yankees offense. The Jays managed two runs after Roger Clemens was ejected in the seventh inning.
