Winker was hit in the legs by pitcher Anderson Wantz in the top of the second inning. who had also passed a pitch close to leadoff hitter Julio Rodríguez in the first inning.
The Seattle player did not like the pitch, but after hearing several comments from players on the Angels bench, he went over and the referee could not stop him before the avalanche of players who came to fight.
