Brewers vs. Pirates Brawl empties bench, Carlos Gomez and Travis Snider Ejected
A two out triple by Carlos Gomez escalated to a full out fist fight between the Brewers and Pirates on Tuesday, April 20th. Gomez, known for admiring his home runs, chose to do so on what turned out to only be a deep outfield drive- a difference which Pirate’s pitcher Gerrit Cole pointed- although he is adamant that he “…didn’t curse at [Gomez]. I didn’t try to provoke a fight. I was frustrated. I let my emotions get the better of me.“
Gomez has been suspended for 3 games for his actions, but seeks to appeal this decision. Watch the full video here.
