Alzolay airmailed a pitch over Shogo Akiyama's batting helmet in the bottom half of the same inning at Great American Ball Park, likely in an attempt at sending a message, and the benches subsequently emptied. Reds sluggers Joey Votto and Jesse Winker were ejected for coming onto the field in order to confront Anthony Rizzo, who they seemed to think had said something snarky to the Reds' dugout. Rizzo acted innocent and avoided being tossed. Nothing else noteworthy came off the modest fracas, but, due to MLB's COVID-19 regulations, suspensions could come of it. Reds manager David Bell was also tossed, making it the first big league game this season in which both managers were thrown out.
