Baltimore Orioles' Adam Frazier and Blue Jays' Alek Manoah Exchange Words on Saturday

The Toronto Blue Jays don't appear to be making too many friends lately.

After a contentious series against the New York Yankees, the Jays are having words with another divisional foe, the Baltimore Orioles.

On Saturday afternoon at Rogers Centre, Orioles utility player Adam Frazier was called out on a check swing attempt. Frazier disagreed with the call and Jays pitcher Alek Manoah made sure to tell him to walk to the dugout.

It's understandable why tensions are high, as both of these teams are battling it out in the American League East. The Orioles entered play at 29-16 while Toronto entered at 25-20.

Perhaps tensions are further heightened by the fact that Frazier had a huge hit last year for the Mariners in Game 2 of the Wild Card round of the playoffs -- the game that ended Toronto's season.

This year, Frazier is hitting .239 with five home runs and 18 RBI. He's added six stolen bases. For his career, he's a .271 hitter with 48 homers. He's played with the Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres, Seattle and Baltimore.

As for Manoah, he went 5.2 innings on Saturday, allowing just two runs and registering five strikeouts. This year, he's 1-4 with a disappointing 5.15 ERA.

Lifetime, he's 26-13 with a 2.96 ERA.

At the time of this posting, the teams are tied 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning. They'll play again on Sunday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 1:37 p.m.
