Manny Machado charges mound, punches Yordano Ventura after plunking

— -- BALTIMORE -- Orioles shortstop Manny Machado and Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura were both ejected following a bench-clearing brawl that was precipitated by Ventura throwing at Machado.

With one out in the bottom of the fifth inning and the Orioles leading 5-1, Ventura's first pitch to Machado -- a 99 mph fastball -- hit the Baltimore slugger in the back. Machado charged the mound, threw a punch at the Kansas City starter and slammed him to the ground.

With the crowd at Camden Yards chanting, "Man-ny, Man-ny," both benches and both bullpens flooded the field.

When play resumed several minutes later, Mark Trumbo, the first batter to face Royals reliever Chien-Ming Wang, hit his league-leading 20th homer, a two-run shot to center field. On the next pitch, Chris Davis went deep to center field.

The ejection for Machado -- who homered in Monday's win against Kansas City and appeared to holler toward the mound after a second-inning flyout Tuesday -- was the fourth of his career. For Ventura, this marks his third career ejection.

Ventura also hit Machado and Davis in a game on Sept. 12, 2015.
