During last night’s Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Seattle Mariners game, there was a little bit of a benches clearing incident. Mariners pitcher Jorge Campillo had thrown inside on Vlad Guerrero in the 4th inning. Vlad took the next pitch, he saw and crushed a home run.
So when Vlad came up again, Campillo lost his head and threw behind Vlad’s head. The amazing thing to me was that Kenji Johjima caught the ball. Vlad took exception and walked out to the mound but was restrained quickly. John Lackey was seen jawing at one Mariners player and I think I saw a glove go flying.
Here’s the video:
Campillo was suspended 4 games and his manager, John McLaren was suspended 1 game.
