Fresh off a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants, the Los Angeles Dodgers continue their road trip with a highly anticipated matchup against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.
The visit to Houston is the Dodgers’ second since the Astros were discovered to have illegally stolen signs during the 2017 season en route to winning the World Series.
It didn’t take long for tensions to flare up last year as Joe Kelly got into a verbal exchange with Carlos Correa that sparked a benches-clearing incident in their first of four meetings of the season.
The right-hander received an initial eight-game suspension but appealed the ruling and had it reduced to five.
