The Red Sox and the Rays won't see each other again until June 30. That might be a good thing. Lingering tension between center fielder Coco Crisp and the Tampa Bay Rays reached a boiling point on Thursday. Crisp was hit by a pitch from Rays starter James Shields, and he immediately charged the mound. Both benches and bullpens emptied, and a fracas ensued. (link)
