Tensions were clearly just flaring everywhere on Friday night. First, you had a fight in NASCAR. Then you’ve got benches clearing in baseball? What a night, man.
Things got a little out of hand during the Nationals and Mets game on Friday night. Nationals’ pitcher Steve Cishek accidentally beaned Francisco Lindor with a pitch that looked pretty dangerous.
The pitch hit him in the face and ended up chipping his tooth. If it weren’t for the c-flap on his helmet things could’ve ended up a lot worse. Through it all, though, Lindor maintained his composure. That was even after both benches completely cleared and ejections were handed out.
