Pitcher Hitting Batter Leads To EPIC Brawl During Mariners-Angels Game, Play Halted For Almost 20 Minutes

A brawl -- an actual brawl, not one where a bunch of players stand around kind of shoving -- erupted between the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels Sunday in Anaheim. There were a decent number of punches thrown and lots of drama that meant baseball didn't resume for quite a while. Eventually, there were eight ejections -- six players and both managers.

It all started Saturday night, actually. A pitch sailed close to Mike Trout's head on its way to the backstop in the ninth inning. The Angels star was unhappy and said as much after the game.

Next inning, Wantz hit Jesse Winker with a pitch. It looked like Winker might take his base but someone from the Angels' dugout got his attention and then, it was on. Winker appeared to be arguing with Phil Nevin, the interim Angels manager. Winker and Mariners shortstop JP Crawford both threw punches during the benches-clearing brawl.
