The New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles are two of the top rivals in the AL East, and tensions often run high when they face off. Fights and heated moments are pretty common, and bench-clearing incidents have happened more than once between these teams.
In their last game, fans witnessed a similar incident when Heston Kjerstad and Pablo Reyes had a heated moment. Kjerstad made a dash to steal second base, and Pablo Reyes jumped to make the catch that came from the plate. Reyes had to leap to catch the ball, but he landed on Kjerstad, which sparked a heated exchange between the two.
The second base umpire was forced to intervene as both players were taking things seriously. In no time, the benches were cleared. The Yankees’ and Orioles’ bullpens were darting towards second base. The dugout emptied, and all players were on the field. Here’s a look at the video below.
