Suarez not completely back to form but he kept them in the game. Harper has stopped trying to hit HRs while he's not healthy and he's just putting the ball in play, hard.
Lastly, I don't know why MLB continues to let benches and bullpens empty with these bench clearing incidents.
The NBA and NHL solved that issues easily. Incidents happen, relievers stay in the pen, bench players stay in the dugouts, outfielders not allowed on the infield. You're just asking for trouble letting 52 guys and coaches on the infield.
