Benches clear after Braves P throws at Fernandez's head

Tempers flared in the seventh inning Wednesday when Atlanta Braves pitcher Jose Ramirez threw high and behind a bunting Jose Fernandez's head.

Fernandez had to be held back the moment Ramirez's 95-mph fastball sailed past his head. It was the second time Fernandez had to avoid a high pitch near his head. Ramirez didn't back down from the confrontation either, as he continued to shout at the Marlins ace.
