Ventura ejected after HBP

More info

The hostilities that developed between the Oakland A's and Kansas City Royals on Friday night spilled over into Saturday's rematch.  

After serving up a two-run home run to Oakland's Josh Reddick, which capped an A's five-run fourth-inning rally, Kansas City right-hander Yordano Ventura drilled Brett Lawrie with a 99 mph fastball in apparent retaliation for Friday's aggressive slide that left Alcides Escobar injured.

As a result of the beaning, Ventura was immediately ejected by home plate umpire Jim Joyce.
