The Dodgers beat the Astros 5-2. That enough should make fans smile as many want vengence over the Astros cheating scandal the year that they beat the Dodgers in the World Series.
You remember; Astros were caught stealing signs. The team was fined $5 million and lost a couple draft picks in January. Two managers were fired.
The two teams met Tuesday night for the first time since Houston was handed their punishment and benches cleared at the bottom of the sixth inning. Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly threw a pitch very close to Astros batter Carlos Correa causing him to fall down. Kelly ended up striking out Correa followed by mocking him while walking off the mound. This caused all players from both teams to clear the benches. Nothing more than words were exchanged, but there is clearly tension between the two teams.
They will play each other again tonight at 4 PM PT.
