Emotions ran high between the Cubs and Marlins Tuesday night after a collision at home plate but Kris Bryant found a way to break up the tension.

The benches cleared after Derek Dietrich shoved Victor Caratini after a play at the plate and Bryant gave former teammate Starlin Castro the old fluffy fingers as the two teams confronted each other.

Bryant and Castro played in Chicago together during Bryant’s 2015 rookie season.

The brawl fizzled after the tickling but no word on whether or not they all went to church together or got an ice cream cone.
