ST. LOUIS (AP) — The benches cleared in a Cardinals-Padres game for the second straight night Saturday as St. Louis’ Willson Contreras and San Diego’s Manny Machado each got hit twice by pitches.
The bench-clearing incident came in the ninth inning of the Padres’ 3-1 victory as Machado complained after he was hit by a pitch from Andre Granillo. Cardinals coach Jon Jay, who had been exchanging words with Machado, was ejected from the game.
Contreras was hit by Robert Suarez’ pitch in the ninth to bring the tying run to the plate. Suarez then got the final two outs end the game.
The chippiness Saturday began when a pitch from Randy Vasquez hit Contreras on his wrist. Vasquez appeared to apologize for it later on. Contreras already had been hit by a pitch from Nick Pivetta a night earlier, causing another benches-clearing incident.
When the Padres batted in the fifth, Kyle Leahy’s first pitch hit Machado, causing the umpiring crew to issue warnings to both teams.
