BALTIMORE -- Orioles shortstop Manny Machado and Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura were both ejected following a bench-clearing brawl that was precipitated by Ventura throwing at Machado.
With one out in the bottom of the fifth inning and the Orioles leading 5-1, Ventura's first pitch to Machado -- a 99 mph fastball -- hit the Baltimore slugger in the back. Machado charged the mound, threw a punch at the Kansas City starter and slammed him to the ground.
With the crowd at Camden Yards chanting, "Man-ny, Man-ny," both benches and both bullpens flooded the field.
