Brewers have altercation in dugout
Emotions boiled over in the Brewers dugout today when a New York Mets television broadcast showed an altercation, apparently between manager Ned Yost and catcher Johnny Estrada.
SNY, which broadcasts the Mets' games back to New York, showed players and coaches restraining Estrada and Yost, who were pointing fingers and screaming at each other. Former Mets pitcher Ron Darling, an analyst on the broadcast, said their cameras showed pitcher Ben Sheets and pitching coach Mike Maddux were among those separating Estrada and Yost.
Darling said Yost also called Estrada over a few minutes later and spoke with him in private.
The altercation took place after the Mets scored three runs in the top of the seventh off reliever Carlos Villanueva. Estrada was the catcher and remained in the game, collecting a double in the eighth inning.
The three-run rally gave the Mets a 8-3 lead over the Brewers, who entered the game with nine losses in 13 games. The Brewers began the day a percentage point behind Chicago in the NL Central after holding first place for 102 days.
