Anderson and Ramírez sparked a bench-clearing melee that led to six ejections in one of the nastiest fights in the majors in recent years.
Francona wasn’t exactly sure what prompted the Anderson-Ramírez fight, but said that before the brawl, Anderson had been told by one of the umpires to stop jawing at Guardians rookie Gabriel Arias.
The altercation began when Ramírez slid headfirst into second with an RBI double and Anderson stood over him, straddling the All-Star third baseman. When Ramírez got up, he pointed his finger in Anderson’s face and yelled, prompting them to square off. Anderson had to be forcibly taken into the dugout by members of the coaching staff, but returned to the field several minutes later from the clubhouse. Chicago teammate Andrew Vaughn physically carried Anderson down the steps following the latter outburst.Sarbaugh and Clase were the primary figures in subsequent escalations during the delay.After Anderson went down, he popped up incensed and tried to get at Ramírez but couldn’t break free from several teammates trying to calm him down.
