TORONTO — The benches cleared in Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday after Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> lefty Justin Wrobleski<\/a> hit Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> shortstop Andres Gimenez<\/a> with a pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning with the Jays leading 3-0.<\/p>\n

Gimenez was hit on the right hand one pitch after he seemingly stuck that hand out on in order to get hit. Wrobleski came right back with another high-and-tight one, this time actually hitting Gimenez.<\/p>\n

Both players had words with each other as the benches cleared, including the bullpens. Players from both sides were seen yelling at each other but no punches were thrown.<\/p>\n

Crew chief Mark Wegner issued warnings to both sides but no players were ejected, including Gimenez and Wrobleski.<\/p>\n

The Jays took a 3-0 lead on a three-run home run by Bo Bichette<\/a> in the bottom of the third inning, knocking Dodgers starter Shohei Ohtani<\/a> out of the game.<\/p>\n
