Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier adds more drama to burgeoning rivalry, takes Toronto Blue Jays data card at home plate

Tampa Bay's Kevin Kiermaier took a Toronto data card back to the Rays' dugout in a bizarre incident that began with a play at the plate during a 6-4 win over the Blue Jays on Monday night in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The card was pried loose from Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk's wristband during a play in which Kiermaier was tagged out at the plate on a slide.

Though Kiermaier claimed to reporters that he did not look at it, Rays manager Kevin Cash on Tuesday told reporters that he spoke to Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo about the incident, saying he was unaware of the situation and that he would speak to his players about it.
