Brewers Teammates Scuffle During Game

At the start of the seventh inning of the Milwaukee Brewers' 6-3 loss to Cincinnati on Monday, first baseman Prince Fielder started swinging at his teammate Manny Parra. Parra, who had a no-hitter going into the fifth inning, was being replaced by a pinch-hitter after falling behind 6-1. He and Fielder were walking side-by-side in the dugout when the first baseman shoved and began swinging at Parra.

"It's within the family," Brewers Manager Ned Yost said after the game. He, along with everyone else in the Milwaukee clubhouse, refused to discuss details of the incident. "It's a little bit rude, when your neighbors are fighting next door, for you to go over and ask what happened. … It's nobody's business." [USA Today]
