Bench clearing brawl break out between the Padres and Nationals

The Padres and Nationals had a game in Washington yesterday that go quite heated as a bench clearing brawl took place.

Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz decided to get into Jurickson Profar face which led to both benches clearing and Manny Machado getting involved.

Ruiz instigated this whole situation. That was not the time or place to get in Profar's face. Even with the friendly pats on the shoulder.

It is hard not to put the blame on Ruiz after seeing both angles since he clearly got in Profar's face and went after trying to start something.
