Cubs, Brewers' Benches Clear, Keegan Thompson Ejected

Cubs, Brewers benches clear after McCutchen HBP originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

The Cubs and Brewers' benches and bullpens emptied during Saturday's game after Keegan Thompson hit Andrew McCutchen with a pitch 

McCutchen was hit on his front hip, after the previous pitch from Thompson sailed behind him. He took exception to the pitch that hit him, appearing to direct some words at Thompson.

Both benches and bullpens then emptied.

The McCutchen hit by pitch came a half inning after Cubs outfielder Ian Happ took a pitch off his left kneecap and exited the game. 

Happ was the third Cub to get hit by a pitch Saturday, following Nick Madrigal and Willson Contreras. Madrigal was grazed by his.

Contreras was hit by pitches four times against Milwaukee last season and tensions flared between the Cubs and Brewers in those moments.
