A brawl broke out between the Baltimore Orioles and the Kansas City Royals after Yordano Ventura hit Manny Machado with a pitch.

The incident came in the fifth inning, when Ventura hit Machado with the first pitch of the at-bat. It hit Machado in the hip. After taking a couple of steps, Machado dropped his helmet and ran toward the mound, where punches were exchanged.

Here is the pitch and the fight — you can see the full video below:

Both players were ejected from the game.

This came after an earlier at-bat in which Ventura just missed hitting Machado with a pair of pitches. Later in that at-bat, Machado just missed hitting a home run and, as he walked toward first base, he could be seen yelling at Ventura.
