Blue Jays' Borucki Shares Thoughts on Ejection, Kiermaier's Card Theft

Tempers flared at Tropicana Field on Wednesday.

Benches cleared between the Blue Jays and Rays after Ryan Borucki was ejected for plunking Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier. 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 reportedly 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.
