Yankees, Pirates benches clear after José Caballero, Dennis Santana have words

NEW YORK – You can almost set your watch to it: Once again, an opponent has expressed frustration with José Caballero’s manipulation of the pitch timer.

This time, it was the Pirates’ Dennis Santana, who exchanged words with the Yankees’ infielder after an eighth-inning at-bat. Both benches and bullpens briefly cleared before New York held on for an 8-5 victory at Yankee Stadium.
