A couple of high fastballs led to the benches clearing and five ejections between the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs in Game 2 of their doubleheader Saturday.
Reds starting pitcher Tejay Antone threw a 96-mph fastball that sailed over Anthony Rizzo's head in the fourth inning. Rizzo and the Cubs' bench clearly took exception to it. Antone looked at his hand after he threw the pitch.
The umpires huddled and issued warnings to both benches. After explaining the warnings to managers from both teams, home-plate umpire Nic Lentz ejected a person from the Cubs dugout. Cubs manager David Ross came out of the dugout to argue and was ejected.
