The fight began when Gregg, who had thrown several inside pitches that irked Ortiz, yelled at the slugger for not running out a popup. Ortiz, jogging to first base, responded by rushing the mound. Each player threw a punch, but there was more pushing than anything. The benches cleared and the series remained chippy after the incident.
