In Major League Baseball, two managers and six players were ejected after a brawl between the Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium on Sunday.

Tensions regarding inside pitches boiled over when Seattle batter Jesse Winker was struck on the right hip by a 91.1-mph fastball from Angels pitcher Andrew Wantz in the top of the second inning at Angels Stadium in Anaheim, California prompting players and coaches to come out of their dugouts.

As the umpires were attempting to sort things out, Angels closer Raisel Iglesias then decided to throw a container of sunflower seeds on the field, and it started things back up for a second. The game was delayed for about 18 minutes by the four minutes of mayhem.

Mariners manager Scott Servais and Angels interim manager Phil Nevin were ejected. So were Angels players Wantz, Raisel Iglesias and Ryan Tepera, and Seattle players Winker, Rodríguez and J.P. Crawford.

This is the eighth game in the last 11 days between the two teams. The Angels won four of five last week, but the Mariners have taken the first three games of this series.
