Since the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox are both competing in the American League East, it is no suprise that tensions are high. However, this reached new highs when an all-out brawl broke out during in the bottom of the third inning in today's game between the two.It all started when Red Sox pitcher Nick Pivetta threw a questionable pitch in on Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk's hands. The pitch hit Kirk. Then, Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. got into it with Rafael Devers, who initiated the brawl. Both benches cleared, and the brawl lasted roughly two minutes.Jomboy Media@JomboyMediaBenches clear in the Blue Jays vs. Red Sox game3103221Benches clear in the Blue Jays vs. Red Sox game https://t.co/xiAVAzVSD8There is no doubt that these two teams do not like each other. They are both in the toughest division in all of baseball. They are currently neck-in-neck for second place in the AL East. The teams have nearly identical records, with the Blue Jays being 42-32 and Red Sox being 42-33. The Boston Red Sox have also been creeping up on the Blue Jays, going 7-3 in their last 10 games.The oddest thing about this brawl was that is was not sparked by the pitcher or the catcher, which is what usually happens. It was confusing because no one knew why this happened or why the Toronto Blue Jays initiated the brawl.goated@BronxieJudge@JomboyMedia Blue jays being soft, what’s new2744@JomboyMedia Blue jays being soft, what’s newAfter this happened, the clip of it went to social media.

They honestly accomplish nothing and just result in players getting suspended.Mac Wheeler@Side_of_FriesGK@JomboyMedia One of the lamest traditions in all of sports, fake tough guy stuff all around.

It did not look like that the pitch thrown by Nick Pivetta was intentional. However, these two teams do have some bad blood since they play in the same division, Maybe it is something that has been brewing for a while. Overall, it is going to be very interesting to see how the relationship between these two teams plays out in the future.
