Baseball fans saw tempers flare on April 11 as the Rockies and Padres, along with the Yankees and Red Sox, each cleared the benches in their respective games.

Infuriated, Arenado charged the mound, swinging his fists at Perdomo as chaos ensued with both teams spilling out into the middle of the diamond.
