The Indians defeated the Royals 11-9 in ten innings on Saturday in a game that featured three ejections and two bench-clearing brawls. "What a crazy kind of emotional game," said Indians manager Manny Acta, who was among those thrown out during an eventful third inning. "Just glad we came out on top." Shin-Soo Choo was plunked by Jonathan Sanchez in the third inning, sending both teams streaming onto the infield. Sanchez and Choo have some history: The left-hander broke Choo's thumb last season by hitting him with a pitch. Choo wound up on the disabled list for nearly two months. Tempers were still simmering in the bottom half when Cleveland starter Jeanmar Gomez hit Mike Moustakas leading off the inning. Plate umpire Gary Darling immediately tossed Gomez along with Acta and third baseman Jack Hannahan, who rushed into the middle of the fray. Royals manager Ned Yost was also in the middle of the scrap, losing his hat as he got into Hannahan's face between the mound and first base. "I don't really know what they were thinking," Yost said. "They had to go to their pen early. We had to go to our pen early. It's one of those things."
