"DENVER -- Rafael Devers' 30th home run of the season was a weird one. Colorado Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland, along with the San Francisco Giants' Matt Chapman and Willy Adames, were ejected from Tuesday night's game following a benches-clearing incident that started after Devers hit a two-run homer in the first inning. Devers hammered a sweeper over the right-field wall, and Freeland took exception to Devers' celebration, shouting at him as he neared first base."
"That caused several players to charge toward the infield, where Chapman appeared to make contact with Freeland, with Adames also in the middle of the scrum. The umpires restored order before sorting out the situation and announcing the ejections. Devers waited at first base while the umpires were meeting and then trotted around the bases several minutes after he actually hit the homer. It did not appear that any punches were thrown."
