Jose Bautista of Toronto Blue Jays says Texas Rangers 2B Rougned Odor 'was looking for a fight'

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista may have served his one-game suspension, but he's still not done talking about the incident with Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor that led to him getting punched in the face May 15.

Odor punched Bautista after the Toronto outfielder, who had reached base after being hit by a pitch from Matt Bush, slid at Odor's legs in the midst of a double play in the top of the eighth inning of the Rangers' 7-6 win. Players from both teams rushed the field, and Odor shoved Bautista and then landed the punch.
