Sano, Boyd ejected after HBP, fracas

MINNEAPOLIS -- The benches cleared for both the Twins and Tigers after Detroit left-hander Matthew Boyd threw a pitch behind Minneapolis first baseman Miguel Sano. Sano objected and pointed his finger at Boyd, then he shoved catcher James McCann when McCann hit Sano in the face with his glove.

Sano was immediately ejected after the hard shove of McCann, and both benches cleared, including relievers running in from the outfield bullpen. After a conference at the mound, Boyd was also ejected for throwing behind Sano.
