"After I scored on Adolis’ grand slam, I told , ‘I told you we were going to win this game,’ and all of a sudden, their bench is out there and both of us are out of the game," Semien said after the game."I didn’t want to get thrown out of the game. I just was talking to him."Texas Rangers' Adolis Garcia jogs around the bases after hitting a grand slam during the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Houston Astros, Wednesday, July 26, 2023, in Houston.
Both benches were warned earlier in the game after Astros pitcher Framber Valdez hit Semien in the shoulder with a pitch. It appeared to be retaliation after Andrew Heaney hit Yordan Alvarez in the right shoulder with a pitch in the first inning. "Obviously, Andrew did not try to hit Yordan, and I got hit with a four-seam fastball from a sinkerballer," Semien said."I felt like it was on purpose. I walked to first base. I ended up scoring on the home run, and I told Martín, ‘We’re going to win this game.’ We proceeded to score 11 runs after that. I said ‘I told you,’ and I ended up out of the game."
