NEW YORK (AP) -The Subway Series is getting awfully testy.
Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez shouted at Yankees reliever Brian Bruney during batting practice Sunday and the two were separated by teammates. That came one day after they exchanged barbs through the media.
In video footage on YES Network, an angry Rodriguez could be seen pointing at Bruney from a few feet away before Yankees reliever Jose Veras stepped between them in left field.
Bruney held his ground and appeared to say little, if anything. Mets pitcher Mike Pelfrey got in front of Rodriguez and escorted him away.
Bruney criticized Rodriguez on Saturday, calling the closer’s exuberant celebrations on the mound a “tired act.” Rodriguez said Bruney “better keep his mouth shut.”
