The benches cleared between the New York Mets and Washington Nationals during the fifth inning of their Friday evening contest after Steve Cishek's pitch hit Francisco Lindor in the head. New York's star shortstop was attempting to bunt with a runner on second base when Cishek's errant throw hit Lindor on the helmet. Veteran manager Buck Showalter - in his first year in Flushing - was the first person out of the dugout, screaming at the opponents.
