TL;DR Summary

Houston Astros relief pitcher Bryan Abreu has been suspended for two games after intentionally hitting Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia with a pitch during Game 5 of the American League Championship Series. The pitch sparked a benches-clearing incident and a near brawl. Abreu denies intentionally throwing at Garcia, but all six umpires deemed the pitch intentional. Abreu's suspension means he will miss Game 6 of the ALCS and potentially Game 7 or Game 1 of the World Series. Other players involved in the incident were fined but not suspended.
