The Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate, the Albuquerque Isotopes, were involved in a massive brawl this evening during their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks-affiliated Reno Aces. Ten players were ejected:
Ben Ross of KOLO-TV in Reno provided the video and the play-by-play on Twitter:
Ross deleted the video, but we have a couple more videos below:
Wow insane brawl at the Aces game. Punches thrown, multiple ejections. Gonna be some major suspensions.

Isotopes infielder Erisbel Arruebarrena not happy about being thrown at. A few pitches later he struck out, then shoved Aces' Blake Lalli

Benches cleared, dozens of players involved right behind home plate. Brawl went into the net and pushed net right into first row of crowd

Really awful sight to see. Arruebarrena is going to be suspended for a long time.

Arruebarrena was thrown at, evidently, because of his slow home-run trot in Friday’s game against Reno:
It was his first career home run at the Triple-A level.
