After the ball hit the stands. It took eight minutes for the batter to come home.

The game between the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants at Coors Field on the 3rd (Korea time). From the start, both teams' dugouts were cleanly emptied.

MLB.COM, the official website of the U.S. Major League Baseball, shed light on the bench-clearing situation of the two teams.




San Francisco's Rafael Devers hit a home run off Colorado starter Kyle Freeland in the top of the first inning. In 2S, he hit the sweeper in the middle and over the right fence.

The moment the ball reaches out. Devers looked at the ball with his bat. When I saw it go over, I started to move to first base. At this appearance, Frilland shouted and gestured as if turning quickly.

Devers responded and shouted before arriving at first base, eventually approaching Freeland as soon as he stepped on first base. In the end, both teams' dugouts and players in the bullpen rushed to the ground, and a physical fight broke out.




The referee and the players of both teams dissuaded and separated the fiercely attached player, but there were also loud voices.

Freeland, infielders Matt Chapman and Willy Adames were sent off as a result of the huge disturbance. In particular, Adames was disgraced to be sent off in the game, which was his 30th birthday.

At the time of bench clearing, Chapman and Adames were known to be the first to run to the ground. Chapman also elevated the mood by pushing Frilland.




As Freeland was being restrained in the Rockies dugout, Adames got out of the crowd and shouted toward Freeland, which caught fire once again.

After the situation was cleared up to some extent, Freeland came to the mound, but the referee could not continue the pitch as he announced the exit.

Devers went all over the bases with permission from the judges. MLB.COM explained that '8 minutes after the ball hit the right-field stands.

Senzatela took the mound in place of Freeland, clearing the inning without extra runs.

San Francisco also needed to clean up its lineup. Devers was able to go out as it was, but the two main infielders were empty. Casey Schmidt, who was excluded from the starting lineup after being hit by a dune in his right elbow the previous day, entered Adames, who was a shortstop, and went to second base. Christian Cos, who started as a second baseman, entered the shortstop position.

Dominic Smith came in as a pinch-hitter to replace Chapman, who was third baseman, and Devers moved to third base.

MLB.COM said, `What would have happened if Devers had been sent off before he finished running around the bases. San Francisco has a similar case. On September 26, 2008, Benji Molina was replaced by pinch runner Emmanuel Burris after going to first base on a hit-like pitch. The video review corrected it to a home run, but Molina came back out and couldn't turn the bases. Home runs and RBIs were recognized, but runs were not recognized.'

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-hoo, who started as San Francisco's seventh hitter and center fielder despite such confusion, played multi-hit. San Francisco won 7-4.
