Emotions are still running high between the Blue Jays and Rangers, who met in a hard-fought Division Series last year. Today, things boil over in the 8th inning, when after being plunked by Matt Bush, Jose Bautistaslides hard into second baseman Rougned Odor, Odor reacts by punching Bautista in the jaw, triggering a brawl that leads to four ejections: the two main protagonists, the Jays’ Josh Donaldson and Texas coach Steve Buechele. Shortly afterwards, Jays P Jesse Chavez is tossed for throwing at Rangers DH Prince Fielder, leading to the ejection of coach DeMarlo Hale as well (Jays manager John Gibbons and coach Tim Leiper had been thrown out back in the 3rd inning). In the end, Texas wins the game, 7 – 6, with Bush earning his first career victory. On May 17th, MLB will hand out an eight-game suspension and a $5,000 fine to Odor, while Chavez and Gibbons get three-game suspensions, and Bautista, Leiper and Rangers SS Elvis Andrus one game each.
