The gloves are off: Massive bench clearing brawl kicks off between Padres and Rockies after a pitch is thrown behind Nolan Arenado. Five players ejected for taking part in the melee!
Tensions had been brewing between the two teams as the Padres’ center fielder Manuel Margot was hit in the ribs in Tuesday’s game. On Wednesday, Perdomo’s wild pitch behind Arenado seemed to cross the line. Arenado charged the mound as Perdomo threw his glove at him. Though the two never seemed to make actual contact with each other, both dugouts cleared and a melee ensued.
