UPDATE: World Series Game 7 transformed into chaos tonight as benches cleared at Rogers Centre during a heated confrontation between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers. The incident erupted in the bottom of the fourth inning when Blue Jays star Andres Gimenez was struck on the hand by a 96.4 mph fastball thrown by Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski.
Tempers flared as Gimenez, visibly frustrated, confronted Wrobleski after the pitch, leading to a foul-mouthed exchange that prompted both teams to charge onto the field. Umpire Jordan Baker intervened, but the situation escalated quickly, resulting in a chaotic scene during baseball’s biggest night.
Witnesses reported that Blue Jays manager John Schneider sprinted onto the field to mitigate the conflict, while Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas was seen struggling to keep his composure amid the chaos. As players and umpires attempted to restore order, both dugouts received warnings from crew chief Mark Wegner. The game paused for approximately four minutes before resuming.
