After Pirates starter Chris Archer threw a pitch behind the Reds' Derek Dietrich, both Archer and the Reds were given warnings by the home plate umpire. Bell came out of the dugout to protest the warning, and the benches cleared. Puig had to be held back during the melee and eventually went after some Pirates players.
Reds reliever Amir Garrett also was ejected.
