CLEVELAND — White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson and Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez went toe-to-toe in a dukes-up boxing match near second base Saturday, and both players were ejected after their fisticuffs sparked a benches-clearing brawl at Progressive Field.
In the Sox’ 7-4 victory, which halted a five-game losing streak, Ramirez and Anderson were the main event. The infielders got tangled up at second after Ramirez slid in safely with a double in the sixth inning, and Ramirez pushed at Anderson’s leg from the ground as the shortstop straddled him.
