Well, things got real spicy before the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels even took the field. Just ahead of their crucial showdown, Red Sox first base coach Jose Flores got into what seems like a fiery exchange with several Angels players and coaches, right along the third base line.
Now, according to some sources, it seems to have started when Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson had some heated words for Flores. Whatever was said definitely didn’t sit well because soon a crowd started forming.
Red Sox players also crossed the stands to back up their coach, and from casual warmup to full-on tension, things took a drastic turn.

Even Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora made his way over to Anderson, maybe to cool things down or, who knows, to get some answers. Now Cora has been known to stand up for his players. Just last week, the Lindor and Buehler incident happened, where Cora ended up being ejected for standing up for his player. No punches were thrown, but this was not your typical pre-game chatter. Fans at the park and online are asking one question: What was the trigger? One thing is for sure—this matchup already looks hot from the start.
