After the Pirates hit the Mets with four pitches Saturday night, an early plunking on Sunday cleared the benches.

Right after the Mets took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, Johan Oviedo’s first pitch to Pete Alonso was a 96 mph fastball that ran inside and caught him on the left arm. Alonso was not pleased, first staring down Oviedo as he walked to first before jawing at the young right-hander.

That led to the benches and bullpens clearing, though no punches were thrown and the teams quickly retreated to their respective sides. Jeff McNeil did have to hold back Alonso, who was still heated.After a discussion from the umpires, both benches were warned.
