Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker was fined an undisclosed amount for his role in the bench-clearing incident against the Dodgers. Why? Let’s talk.

The Houston Astros’ first game of a two-game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers had plenty of drama and it was everything that we expected and more. The only exception is that the Houston Astros fell to Dodgers 5-2 but all that happened in between was great to watch.

This was the first time the teams faced each other a Minute Maid Park since the World Series, to which our team went on to win it in seven games.
