All right now to bay area baseball the oakland as are playing hot of course, in the last game it was the tempers that were flaring the benches cleared in a game against Houston Astros at the coliseum it all happened with the as leading in the 7th check it out is outfielder ramon marianna yeah, they took one right in the back. A pitch for the second time in the game actually 3rd time in the series and as you can see and like it one bit. A few choice words for the picture and then while at first base he gets into an argument with the astros hitting coach. Yeah, alex cintron so were going play here looks entrances bring it on and solorio says ok here i come. Yeah so he charges the astros dugout the benches clear as you can bench clearing brawl weve seen because i did everything is all hands off didnt think we did see that the lc help but the first one there you go well laurie and the as catcher austin allen they were both ejected.

Final score with the giants in defeat 6 to 2 again theyll play in houston tonight against the astros and of course were going to be keeping an eye on that day.
