Fireworks flew in another dramatic game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers. There was an atmosphere reminiscent of the playoffs of 2015 as fans witnessed homeruns, rallies, back and forth scoring battles, manager ejections and Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion being hit by Ranger pitchers.
Oh yeah; and there were also two bench clearing, fist-flying brawls in the eighth started by Roughned Odor slugging Jose Bautista in the jaw after Bautista slid hard into Odor at second base.
The craziness started back in the third inning when the Jays’ first base coach Tim Leiper was ejected by first base umpire Dale Scott for arguing apparent balks (a carryover from Saturday’s game).
