Benches Clear in Brewers-Rays After Abner Uribe, Jose Siri Exchange Punches

Things quickly became heated on the field Tuesday night in the eighth inning of the Milwaukee Brewers' 8–2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

To lead off the eighth, Rays outfielder Jose Siri grounded out to first base. While Siri jogged to first, Brewers reliever Abner Uribe appeared to have some words for the 28-year-old. Siri chirped back.

Despite umpire Phil Cuzzi's best efforts to separate the two players, Uribe and Siri exchanged blows, with Uribe throwing the first punch over Cuzzi’s shoulder to connect with Siri’s helmet. Both the Brewers and Rays benches cleared, and chaos ensued from there.
