The brawl happened in the bottom of the third when San Diego’s Luis Perdomo threw behind Colorado’s Nolan Arenado, almost hitting the third baseman.
Arenado charged the mound. Perdomo then threw his glove at Arenado, and Arenado threw a punch.
The benches cleared and the scuffle lasted over a minute as the two were separated and then another brawl broke out.

1. Steve Parris, Je t'aime Posted: April 12, 2018 at 08:32 AM (#5652074)I suspect it's an ingrained "shot off the bow" mechanism -- I see you, I'm ready -- but I like to think it's about avoiding lions and how easily distracted cats are. Throw the ball of string at him, maybe he'll chase that instead.
According to google, some mace canisters can spray up to 18 feet - but normal range is 4 to 15 feet, with effectiveness under 10 ft. Maces of the bludgeoning sort appear to generally run about 2-3 feet. Long enough arms and it would seem like we'd have a matchup.
Juuuuuuuuuuuust a bit inside!
