VIDEO: Yankees, Red Sox benches clear in brawl at Fenway Park

Both New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox benches and bullpens in the outfield cleared Wednesday for a brawl in the infield.

The fight, the second major league brawl of the day after the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres earlier Wednesday, broke out in the seventh inning with the Yankees up, 10-6.

The brawl was instigated by Yankees designated hitter Tyler Austin rushing the mound after being hit by a pitch from Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly. Austin, Kelly and Yankees third base coach Phil Nevin were ejected after the fight.

Both the Yankees’ and Red Sox’s benches cleared in the third inning, but only words were exchanged when Austin’s cleats hit Red Sox’s Brock Holt’s leg on his slide into second base.
