Odor took exception to the play and the two got into a physical altercation. Bautista and Josh Donaldson were ejected from the Blue Jays' side, while Odor and bench coach Steve Buechele got tossed on the Rangers' side. That was the first of two incidents as Toronto retaliated when Jesse Chavez hit Prince Fielder with a pitch in the bottom half of the inning.
The fracas completely clouded what was an otherwise back-and-forth affair. Toronto had a 6-4 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh, but Desmond changed that with one swing of the bat on a three-run shot to left-centre field.
