In a chaotic Phillies' 9-4 win over
the Rays, tensions flared when reliever Edwin Uceta hit Nick Castellanos with
a 96mph fastball. With the game tied, Uceta's frustration boiled over, leading to both
benches clearing. Bryce Harper, visibly upset, condemned Uceta’s actions, while Uceta claimed
it was unintentional. Despite Uceta’s ejection, the Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber stole the spotlight
by setting the MLB record for leadoff homers. The Phillies took control with a big eighth
inning, adding insult to injury for Uceta.
