A wild and lengthy brawl broke out between the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians in the sixth inning Saturday night at Progressive Field.

Guardians third baseman José Ramírez doubled to right and slide headfirst into second, where Sox shortstop Tim Anderson applied the tag.

The two exchanged words and then punches were thrown as the benches cleared. Anderson and Ramírez squared off like prize fighters near second base, trading swings before Ramírez landed a right haymaker that leveled Anderson.

It took 14 minutes to clear the field as tempers continued to flare.

The Sox led 5-1 with one out in the sixth when the incident occurred. When the inning began, Sox starter Michael Kopech had a no-hitter, which was broken up on a one-out double by Andrés Giménez.

Ramírez was up next, and the chain of events followed his hit.

When the dust finally settled, Anderson, Ramírez, Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, Sox manager Pedro Grifol, Guardians manager Terry Francona and Guardians third-base coach Mike Sarbaugh were announced as being ejected.
