Bench Clearing Incident

In a dramatic turn of events on a wet, windy night at Camden Yards, tempers flared between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Baltimore Orioles during the sixth inning of their series opener. The confrontation between Brewers’ infielder Willy Adames and Orioles’ catcher James McCann escalated to the point where both teams’ benches cleared, and pitchers rushed in from the bullpens. The incident began when Adames stepped up to the batter’s box for his fourth plate appearance of the game.
