Watch: Rockies, Pirates clear benches after Kuhl nearly plunks CarGo

Tensions boiled over Saturday between the Colorado Rockies and the Pittsburgh Pirates after Carlos Gonzalez narrowly avoided taking a 96-mph Chad Kuhl fastball to the torso in the sixth inning.

Kuhl's first pitch of the frame was likely retaliation for the Rockies hitting star center fielder Andrew McCutchen in the top of the inning. Gonzalez clearly wasn't interested in an unwritten honor code, though, as he went straight after Kuhl on the mound following the pitch, leading to both dugouts (and bullpens!) trekking to the diamond.

Despite the fracas, no one was ejected in the incident.
