Jonathan Broxton becomes first pitcher in 46 years to hit two batters to end a game.

Jonathan Broxton's errant pitch and Jonny Gomes' ribcage made history on Wednesday.

In what was literally the wildest ending to a baseball game in almost 50 years, the Kansas City closer hit Oakland rookie Yoenis Cespedes to load the bases in the bottom of the 12th inning.

It was the first time in 46 years that a game ended with two straight batters being hit with pitches.
