LOS ANGELES (AP)
The Dodgers took it personally when Arizona's Ian Kennedy hit their star rookie Yasiel Puig in the face with a pitch. Then they really got mad when Kennedy hit starter Zack Greinke with another high pitch.Punches replaced pitches at that point as a heated brawl involving players and coaches ensued, resulting in six ejections before the Dodgers rallied to beat the Diamondbacks 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Kennedy, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson and coach Turner Ward, along with Puig, reliever Ronald Belisario and Dodgers hitting coach Mark McGwire were ejected in the seventh inning after the prolonged scuffle against a railing that nearly spilled into the stands.''There were four of us and what, 60 of them?'' crew chief Brian Gorman told a pool reporter after the game.In the top of the seventh, Greinke hit Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero in the back — drawing a warning from the umpire — and both teams came charging onto the field, but the scrum broke up quickly with no punches thrown.
You have the Rays and the Red Sox throwing balls at each other after a bout of "perceived pimping" of a HR shot by Matt Joyce. It wasn't even a HR, it was a foul ball and he dropped the bat more than pimped his ride, but old-schooler John Lackey was having none of it.
You have the Giants and the Pirates trading courtesy shots. Every game I turn to, guys are tossing the old horsehide at each other.
Now this, the Giants rivals the Dodgers and the D-Backs getting after it. Both teams have some former high profile players getting after each other in the scrum. Maybe they should scrimmage each other and settle things on the field.
It's starting to get hot out there. Wait until we get to the dog days of the summer and are smack dab in the middle of a pennant race.
