Benches cleared briefly in Houston's loss to Boston when Astros reliever exchanged words with Boston's third-base coach.

Red Sox announcer Will Middlebrooks criticized the Astros for being upset with Boston over sign-stealing drama during its 7-3 win on Saturday. “I had a feeling this was gonna happen,” Middlebrooks said. “Imagine the Astros being mad about stealing signs. But guess what, that’s part of the game, when you can see the grip in a glove.”
