Houston Astros reliever Héctor Neris used a balk to advance a runner to third on Saturday, then had an exchange with Red Sox third base coach Kyle Hudson that led to a dustup between the teams. Neris surrendered Trevor Story's two-out RBI double in the seventh inning of Houston's 7-3 loss.

Red Sox announcer Will Middlebrooks criticized the Astros for being upset with Boston over sign-stealing drama during its 7-3 win on Saturday. “I had a feeling this was gonna happen,” Middlebrooks said. “Imagine the Astros being mad about stealing signs. But guess what, that’s part of the game, when you can see the grip in a glove.”
