06:36 AM ET 09.16 | All hell broke loose in the eighth inning, after Toronto's Aaron Hill had been plunked by Mark Melancon and Blue Jays reliever Jesse Carlson responded by throwing behind Jorge Posada. After Posada walked and scored on Brett Gardner's double, Posada elbowed Carlson's glove -- the pitcher was backing up near home plate. Carlson yelled at Posada, who was ejected as he stormed toward the Toronto lefty. Plate umpire Jim Joyce later called Posada's elbow to Carlson's glove a "cheap shot."
