An eighth-inning fight featuring Jorge Posada and Toronto pitcher Jesse Carlson turned the region between home plate and the first-base trench into a massive hole in the ground.
After finishing it, Carlson injured and got a cut on his forehead and Yankees manager Joe Girardi had a tiny abrasion on his left ear.
