MLB Sends Harsh but Fair Message with Joe Kelly Ban for Dodgers vs. Astros Spat

The Houston Astros cheated in their win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2017 World Series, and yet the Dodgers are the first to have a player suspended amid the fallout.

That ought to be a grave injustice. But considering the circumstances, it's really not.

If you missed it, Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly put himself in the middle of a kerfuffle during his club's 5-2 win over the Astros at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday. He buzzed Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa with pitches and then had a profanity-laced exchange with the latter that led to a benches-clearing incident.
