| 2005 | Skippers Lou Piniella (one game) and Terry Francona (one game) round out the six suspensions given to the Red Sox and Devil Rays for their roles in two April 24 bench-clearing incidents in the beanball-laden contest at Tropicana Field. Boston's 11-3 victory, which also featured six ejections, resulted in multi-game suspensions for Bronson Arroyo (6), Dewon Brazelton (5), Lance Carter (5), and Trot Nixon (2). |
| 2010 | Roy Halladay loses his third consecutive 1-0 complete game, suffering the defeat to the Red Sox at Boston's Fenway Park. The hard-luck Blue Jays right-hander is the first pitcher to accomplish the dubious feat since Diamondbacks' southpaw Randy Johnson dropped three straight complete-game decisions in 1999, becoming the first Toronto hurler since Jim Clancy had a similar streak during the 1982 season. |
