St. Petersburg, Fla. ? Volatile Kansas City outfielder Jose Guillen entered into a heated clubhouse exchange with pitching coach Bob McClure, knocking over chairs before several Royals separated them before Saturday night’s 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay.

Guillen and McClure argued face-to-face, but no punches were thrown. Guillen, who unleashed a profanity-filled tirade against his teammates in May, went 0-for-4. Guillen declined to comment on the incident.

“It’s been handled in-house and honestly,” Royals manager Trey Hillman said after the game. “It’s a non-issue. It’s not a big deal. It’s not going to characterize anybody.”

McClure would not acknowledge the incident occurred. He said Guillen “should be on the All-Star team” that will be announced today.

In late May, after the Royals lost their 10th straight game, Guillen criticized his teammates and added, “Too many babies in here.”
