Nationals-Giants erupts in ugly brawl as Bryce Harper charges the mound after being hit by a pitch

Bryce Harper and Hunter Strickland were both ejected after Harper charged Strickland and threw several punches after being hit by a pitch.

Things got ugly between the Washington Nationals and the San Francisco Giants in the eighth inning on Monday after Bryce Harper was hit by a pitch from Hunter Strickland.

With Washington leading 2-0 during an at-bat in the eighth inning, Strickland beamed Harper in the hip.

Harper angrily pointed his bat at Strickland and then charged the mound, swinging his fists at Strickland. Both players threw several punches as the teams stormed the field.

The two benches did a good job of not escalating the fight further, keeping it to just Strickland and Harper. Both players were ejected.

Strickland was so heated that Hunter Pence took a beating of his own trying to get Strickland off the field.

It wouldn't be surprising if suspensions follow.
