The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox got in a bases-clearing brawl on Wednesday night after Tyler Austin charged the mound.
Austin was hit in the back by Red Sox reliever Joe Kelly in the top of the 7th and charged the mound. The two ended up on the ground with players running in from all over to pull them apart:
