We already knew there was some bad blood between the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles — just a few weeks back, Aaron Judge got hit by a pitch, and then his teammate Alex Verdugo yelled at the O’s after Gleyber Torres got hit.
On Friday night, tempers spilled over. Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad got hit in the head with a pitch, and benches emptied as Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde yelled at the Yanks’ dugout. There was a little bit of a physical altercation, although it wasn’t an all-out brawl.
Still, this rivalry is really cooking. Check out all the moments from Friday’s melee:
