But in a game full of high and lowlights, the game took an extra turn in the bottom of the eighth inning when both benches and bullpens emptied after Rangers reliever Shawn Armstrong hit Zach Neto and Mike Trout with pitches, prompting an angry exchange between Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery and Texas manager Bruce Bochy.

The benches cleared in the eighth inning of the Los Angeles Angels’ 8-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night, and even though no punches were thrown, emotions ran high after the game.

Nathan Eovaldi delivered a strong seven-inning performance. Adolis García crushed a two-run homer in the eighth to lead the Texas Rangers past the Los Angeles Angels 6-3 on Wednesday night, avoiding a series sweep.
