Angels Fans Throw Trash Cans on Field in First Game Against Astros

The Astros avoided jeers from the opposing fans due to the COVID-19 crisis during the 2020 season, but the pandemic did not allow fans to forget about its sign-stealing scandal.

Fans at Angel Stadium in Anaheim tossed a pair of objects onto the field on Monday night as the Angels defeated the Astros 7-6. An inflatable garbage can was thrown over the right-field scoreboard after the sixth inning. An actual garbage can was tossed onto the warning track shortly therafter. Play was stopped both times as the grounds crew removed the items.

Monday's incident continues the consistent animosity from opposing fans toward the Astros.
