The incident occurred during Saturday’s game between the teams. Ramírez slid into second base after hitting an RBI double, and began arguing with Anderson, who was standing over him.
The argument eventually escalated, with Anderson throwing down his glove and putting up his hands to challenge Ramírez to a fight. The third baseman obliged, and both began throwing punches, with Ramírez eventually knocking Anderson down.
Both teams spilled out onto the field, with multiple teammates restraining Anderson and White Sox manager Pedro Grifol.
A total of six players and coaches were ejected as a result of the incident.
