Rougned Odor claimed innocence late Friday night after he was involved in a benches-clearing incident following the final out of the Texas Rangers' 6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
The game ended as Ronald Guzman bounced into an double play, and Odor was out at second base. But Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons took exception to Odor's slide, which clipped Simmons on the left shin.
Odor said that Simmons was angry, saying Odor slid high with his spikes. Odor claimed that the slide was clean, and he felt that way after seeing it on replay.
