The visiting Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians will try to put aside their bad blood when they meet in the rubber match of their three-game series on Sunday.
Both teams engaged in a wild, bench-clearing brawl on Saturday night, resulting in the ejection of three players, both managers and a third-base coach.
"I think he's been disrespecting the game for a while," Ramirez said through an interpreter. "As soon as the play happened, he tagged me again really hard, more than needed. His reaction was that he wanted to fight. I had to defend myself." White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said, "I'm going to let MLB figure this out, they've got some work to do."
Jesse Scholtens, a 29-year-old rookie right-hander, is scheduled to start the series finale for the White Sox.Scholtens went six innings in his most recent appearance on Tuesday. He held the American League West-leading Texas Rangers to one run and three hits with six strikeouts and one walk, but took the loss in the 2-0 defeat.
Scholtens threw five innings of relief against the Guardians on May 22 and took the loss after surrendering just one run and two hits.
