Yordano Ventura was ejected Tuesday night after sparking a brawl during the Royals’ game against the Baltimore Orioles here at Camden Yards.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Ventura plunked Orioles shortstop Manny Machado in the ribs with a fastball.
Without hesitation, Machado dropped his bat and sprung toward the mound. Ventura removed his hat and dropped his glove as a melee broke out in the middle of the field. Machado appeared to landing a glancing blow before Ventura wrapped his legs up and took him to the ground.
Machado was also ejected for his part in the brawl.
