West Michigan Whitecaps player Eduardo Jimenez hurled a ball at Dayton Dragons reliever Jesse Stallings in a Class-A Midwest League game over the weekend.
The brawl spurred from an incident where Whitecaps shortstop Daniel Pinero took a slight step on Dragons base runner Jose Siri's ankle following a stolen base. The players chirped each other before being separated.
Pineiro and Siri were ejected from the game.
