Looking back, Adolis Garcia should have known the pitch that hit him after he slowly celebrated his game-changing home run wasn’t on purpose.
But it’s the pitch that changed Game 5 of the 2023 ALCS.
It sparked a brawl that saw Garcia, pitcher Bryan Abreu and Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker ejected. Then? Jose Altuve hit the game-winning dinger, and Baker ended up celebrating at the Astros’ tunnel. A wild game and series of events.
As we get set to move on to see if the Astros can close out the Texas Rangers, here’s a look back at photos from the brawl.
