ARLINGTON, Texas -- A feud simmering since Jose Bautista's bat flip in last year's AL Division Series boiled over into a brawl in the final game of the season between the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers.
Bautista and Texas second baseman Rougned Odor got into a fistfight behind the bag after a hard slide by the Toronto slugger at Odor's legs in the midst of a double play in the top of the eighth inning. Players from both teams rushed the field, and Odor shoved Bautista then landed a punch to his face.
