CINCINNATI – Nick Castellanos celebrated euphorically on Saturday a touchdown off player Jake Woodford, causing the benches to be emptied in the Cincinnati Reds’ 9-6 victory over the St. Paul Cardinals. Louis.
The confrontation spread off the field when several relievers were pushed back into the bullpen. Castellanos was the only player sent into battle.
Castellanos, who went into goal on opening day and jumped out of the box before throwing his bat, was hit by Woodford with two outs in the fourth half. Castellanos recovered the ball and offered to return it to Woodford before throwing it off the field.
A wild field then sent Castellanos home, where he scored with a header for a 7-2 lead, colliding with Woodford, who was hit by catcher Yadier Molina on the set.
When Castellanos started to move away, Molina quickly approached and hit him from behind. Banks were emptied into a wild scene.
There were several shootings before order seemed to be restored. But as the assisting players of both teams returned to their pits, they became entangled in the field. The Reds won 9-6.
In 2010, the Cardinals and Reds entered a major battle in Cincinnati. Molina and Brandon Phillips started arguing on the plate, and eventually Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto was caught on the fence and tried to kick him out.
