Benches clear in Giants-Rockies after Devers HR; 3 ejected

DENVER -- Rafael Devers' 30th home run of the season was a weird one.

Colorado Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland, along with the San Francisco Giants' Matt Chapman and Willy Adames, were ejected from Tuesday night's game following a benches-clearing incident that started after Devers hit a two-run homer in the first inning.

Devers hammered a sweeper over the right-field wall, and Freeland took exception to Devers' celebration, shouting at him as he neared first base.

That caused several players to charge toward the infield, where Chapman appeared to make contact with Freeland, with Adames also in the middle of the scrum.
