Robles ejected, benches clear 3:14 9/30/15: Hansel Robles is ejected after his pitch goes up and in on Cameron Rupp, causing the benches to clear in the bottom of the 6th PHILADELPHIA -- Mets reliever Hansel Robles was ejected Wednesday after throwing near the head of Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp, an inning after both benches were warned in the wake of multiple hit-by-pitches -- including one that injured Yoenis Cespedes -- at Citizens Bank Park.
The drama began when Phillies reliever Justin De Fratus hit Cespedes in the third inning, bruising his left middle and ring fingers. Cespedes left the game, and two innings later, Adam Loewen hit his replacement, Kirk Nieuwenhuis.
