MILWAUKEE -- Tempers flared briefly during the eighth inning of Friday's game between the Cardinals and Brewers at Miller Park, after Yairo Munoz and Eric Sogard traded words following a play at second base.
With the score tied at 1, Munoz and Sogard collided when Cards reliever Jordan Hicks threw to second after fielding an attempted sacrifice bunt by Hernan Perez. Hicks fired to get the lead runner, but his throw led Munoz into Sogard, who slid into the base and was out on the play. Teammates of both players rushed onto the field in the moments that followed, and the conflict fizzled shortly after.
