Benches Clear During Royals Vs. Tigers After Mike Moustakas Is Hit By Pitch

Tempers flared and benches cleared during Kansas City Royals Vs. Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.

In the top of the ninth inning of a blowout, Tigers pitcher Bruce Rondon appeared to purposely bean Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas, who did not take kindly to being hit.
