That’s the place issues bought bizarre. After a clumsy slide from Vogelbach, Contreras appeared to lean over him and say one thing, earlier than patting him on the again. Vogelbach – who was minor league teammates with Contreras – took situation with no matter occurred, and tossed the catcher’s facemask to the facet as he stood up.
The 2 gamers then continued to get in one another’s faces, which led to the 2 benches clearing.
Nothing extra notable got here after the 2 groups walked onto the sector, and nobody was tossed from the sport. The Cubs ended up successful, 7-0, having now outscored Pittsburgh 16-0 within the first two video games.
