October baseball is emotional.
Everyone wants to play October baseball, and no one wants to go home early.
The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers are tied at two games each in an intense 2023 ALCS.
In the eighth inning of Game 5, those emotions led to a bench-clearing brawl after Rangers batter Adolis Garcia reacted to getting hit by a pitch.
Even the bullpens cleared out with relief pitchers running onto the field.
Check it out.

Despite a lot of bodies in the mix, it looks like everyone got out of it unscathed.
This is a critical game because neither team wants to fall behind in the series.

Game 6 of the ALCS will be held on Sunday, October 22 at 8:03 PM EDT in Houston.
