Things got tense between two in-state rivals during ALCS Game 5 on Friday night.
In the bottom of the eighth inning of an eventual Astros 5-4 win, Rangers slugger Adolis Garcia was drilled in the front shoulder by Houston reliever Bryan Abreu, and then chaos ensued at Globe Life Field.
Garcia immediately turned around to catcher Martin Maldonado in apparent anger and even touched the backstop on his right shoulder.
Home plate umpire Marvin Hudson stood between the two, trying to prevent any further skirmish but the benches cleared and a big gathering soon enveloped the home plate area.
