Watch: Tigers' Rondon in middle of bench-clearing brawl

Tigers reliever Bruce Rondon was in the middle of a bench-clearing brawl while pitching during a Venezuelan Winter League game on Saturday night.

Rondon, pitching for Navegantes del Magallanes, reportedly hit Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Jose Osuna of Bravos de Margarita with a pitch in the seventh inning.

After Osuna took first, Rondon threw to the bag to keep Osuna close, Osuna barked at Rondon, and the two began exchanging words as Rondon walked toward Osuna.

Umpires and players attempted to separate the two as they got closer, but a bench-clearing brawl soon ensued with Rondon and Osuna in the middle of it.
