MLB: Benches Clear! White Sox and Royals with hot double header

Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox (8-17) fought Kansas City Royals (6-20) with Salvador Perez in the double header. The two fought a heated battle of words, which prompted Dugouts and Bullpens of both teams to storm the field. In the end, however, there was no scuffle in the hot air.

Shortstop Anderson opened his White Sox’s 8-0 win with a home run, which he celebrated too much on the home plate for Perez’s taste. Already on the opening day Anderson is said to have exaggerated a little with his cheering.

When Perez himself met Anderson again later in the game with a double, he let him know again that he should keep his joy in check. “I have no problem with people who hit a home run,” said Perez. “But when they get loud and say ugly things afterwards, I don’t like it.”

And further: “I told him:’I also hit home runs, but I don’t get loud. “Do what you have to do, but respect my team.”

Anderson was relaxed after the match: “I’m the first man in our batting order, so I have to see to it that I motivate my teammates. “I play with a lot of energy and self-confidence.”

The discussion prompted both teams to storm the field to prevent possible fights. Umpire Gerry Davis demanded a handshake after the discussion, but Anderson replied without eye contact.

While the White Sox won their first game, Kansas City won their second duel 5-2, with the double header in Kansas City second this Saturday alongside Giants against Dodgers.
