MIAMI -- Benches cleared and heated words were exchanged in the sixth inning of Wednesday night's game at Marlins Park after Cubs right fielder Junior Lake belted a two-run homer off Miami starter Dan Haren.
As Lake was rounding third, he put his right index finger to his mouth as if to the silence the Marlins' dugout. When he reached home, catcher J.T. Realmuto had some words with Lake, who was being held back by his teammate, Anthony Rizzo.
Both benches cleared, as did each bullpen.
Marlins ace Jose Fernandez, on the disabled list, was among the crowd scampering to home plate.
