Update: Youkilis-Ramirez intramural argument

BOSTON -- Tempers were flaring all over Fenway Park last night.

And it wasn’t just the Sox versus the Rays.

There also was a little Sox versus Sox dugout action, with Youkilis and Ramirez getting into a heated verbal battle that forced teammates, coaches and trainers to separate the duo.

The intramural strife occurred after the bottom of the fourth, in which Boston had tallied three runs for a 7-1 lead. Two of the runs came on a single by Ramirez.

It was unclear what caused the issue, with Tim Wakefield and Lessard forcefully escorting Ramirez away from Youkilis and down the stairway to the tunnel that leads from the dugout to the Sox’ clubhouse.
