The benches cleared briefly in the eighth inning, after Pirates reliever Dennis Santana took issue with Yankees infielder Jose Caballero taking his time setting up in the batters box, prompting a warning to Santana by the home plate umpire. Santana had just forced Caballero to hit a ground ball back to Santana, who started a 1-6-3 double play to end the inning. Santana gestured toward Caballero prompting the infield meeting by the teams. Caballero has had a history of delaying his entry into the batters box since the arrival of the pitch clock, which has frustrated some pitchers.
