Benches cleared and there were two ejections after Matt Kemp tried to run over Robinson Chirinos at home plate

Robinson Chirinos and Matt Kemp were ejected after a home plate collision led to the benches clearing in tonight’s game between the Texas Rangers and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The incident occurred with two outs in the bottom of the third, with the Dodgers up 2-0. Matt Kemp attempted to score from second on a Kike Hernandez single to right field. Nomar Mazara made a strong throw home in plenty of time to get Kemp, but it pulled Chirinos into the third base line.
