Benches clear, Lovullo ejected after Phils plunk Carroll a 2nd time

PHOENIX — Tempers boiled over between the D-backs and Phillies within the backside of the third inning Monday evening when Arizona outfielder Corbin Carroll was hit by a pitch for the second straight plate look by left-hander Matt Strahm.

Carroll, who was named NL Player of the Week earlier within the day and has been an enormous motive the D-backs entered play with the very best report within the league, was hit within the left forearm by a pitch within the first inning.

Then within the third, Strahm got here inside with a pitch that hit Carroll as soon as once more.

While Carroll walked all the way down to first base, D-backs supervisor Torey Lovullo got here out of the dugout to complain to house plate umpire Vic Carapazza.

Lovullo was ejected not lengthy after by Carapazza and whereas Lovullo was arguing, Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto and Lovullo started arguing.

That prompted each benches and bullpens to empty, although no punches have been thrown.

Once the groups returned to the dugout and Christian Walker flied out to proper, Carapaza ejected D-backs infielder Josh Rojas, who was not within the lineup and apparently mentioned one thing from the dugout.

It was the seventeenth profession ejection for Lovullo and the second for Rojas.
