The Yankees And Red Sox Brawl Because That's How It Must Be

Now its baseball season. The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox just brawled.

The rival teams squared off in the seventh inning at Bostons Fenway Park on Wednesday after Yanks batter Tyler Austin charged at Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly for throwing a ball right into his back.

The scene got pretty chaotic:

Kelly was retaliating for Austins apparently late slide into second base earlier in the game that ticked off Red Sox shortstop Brock Holt, the New York Post reported. Austin cut Holts calf with his spikes on that slide, according to MassLive. The benches cleared then as well, but mostly yelling ensued.

Once Austin charged Kelly, though, punches flew and there was plenty of wrestling.
