After Friday night saw a heated exchange following Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor taking a pitch to the face from Nationals pitcher Steve Cishek, more sparks flew in an NL Central battle on Saturday between the Cubs and Brewers.
Sparking MLB’s second bench-clearing incident in as many days, Cubs pitcher Keegan Thompson sent a 93-mph fastball into the hip of Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen, who did not react kindly.
Thompson was subsequently ejected from the game.
