Abreu was suspended Saturday by MLB senior vice president Michael Hill, a day after the incident. The reliever appealed, allowing him to pitch in Game 6, and the hearing was held Monday before John McHale Jr., a special assistant to baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. He was pleased with the resolution since it allows him to pitch this postseason despite the suspension not being reduced. “That was kind of what I was hoping for when I didn’t use him in a down game two innings yesterday,” Baker said. Abreu, García and Baker were ejected.

CNN —Both benches cleared as tempers flared in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) between the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers on Friday. García immediately dropped his bat and turned to confront Houston catcher Martín Maldonado, with the pair exchanging words. Although no punches were thrown, Abreu, García and Houston manager Dusty Baker were all ejected after a delay of almost 12 minutes. They now hold a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven series, having won the last three games, and are one win from a spot in the World Series. The winner will face either the Philadelphia Phillies or the Arizona Cardinals in the World Series.

HOUSTON—At the end, he hoped, of a slump that had spread across much of October, the absolute worst time of year for soft contact and hard luck, Jose Altuve packed for Philadelphia on Saturday night the new owner of three hits in a single baseball game. He wore a black T-shirt with a picture of a bear on it. The bear wore aviator sunglasses and a button-down shirt and looked quite solemn, in contrast to the man wearing him. That’s the best part about Altuve, his teammates swear, that being his unusual ability to believe in tomorrow. That is, if today is no longer available.
