Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano said Houston Astros hitting coach Alex Cintron "said in Spanish something you don't say about my mother," per Jeff Passan of ESPN, prompting Laureano to charge Houston's dugout on Sunday, leading to a benches-clearing confrontation between the teams.
The incident started after Laureano was hit by a pitch for the third time in the series and gestured toward pitcher Humberto Castellanos how he should be gripping and snapping his wrist while pitching.

Laureano said he regretted the decision to charge the dugout:
"I regret charging him because he's a loser.
