The Astros vs. Angels game turned into a heated moment that got the benches cleared. Both teams have had similar situations in the past, especially since they fight in the AL West division. The Astros are on top of the division, and the Angels are 6.5 games behind.
Houston is fighting for the playoffs despite losing several star players this offseason. Likewise, the Angels are keen on making a difference this season. During the bottom of the third inning, the Angels were trailing 2-0 when the dugout and bullpen gathered at home plate.
Houston’s Hunter Brown plunked Zach Neto with a 95 MPH ball. Neto appeared to be hurt terribly and started to fire Brown for taking a shot at him. Neto yelled at Brown, saying “twice” while the Astros pitcher started to fire back. In no time, the Astros vs. Angels game turned into chaos.
Houston’s catcher, Yainer Diaz, prevented Brown, but the pitcher was furious and started mouthing words at Neto. Here’s a look at the video below.
