In what should come as no surprise to anyone following these two teams playing over recent years, the brawl started over Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura hitting Orioles third baseman Manny Machado right in the numbers with a heater.
Understandably upset, Machado wasted no time rushing the mound and he appeared to connect with a huge punch right on the jaw of Ventura. Both men would go to the ground and the two teams would pour out onto the field and a melee would ensue on the field.
There is bad blood between these two teams and others around the league have taken issue with Ventura’s pitching habits. It was a recipe for a brawl on the field and that is exactly what happened.
This wasn’t the typical push-and-shove while standing around brawl the league has become accustomed to.
