While the Boston Red Sox were getting blown out by the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday at Coors Field, there was some action that didn't include a hit or runs.
In the top of the fourth inning with two outs and a runner on third, Rockies pitcher Cal Quantrill got Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire to pop up to shallow center field for the third and final out. However, as McGuire ran to first base, he and Quantrill got into a shouting match, leading to both benches clearing and a number of players yelling and shoving each other around.

Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers, who has his own history with Quantrill, had to hold the pitcher back from getting to McGuire. Outifelder Jarren Duran and pitcher Nick Pivetta appeared to be the angriest from Boston's side of the scuffle.
