Kelly is appealing his suspension, while Roberts will serve his on Wednesday night. Astros manager Dusty Baker also received a fine.
and also handed a one-game ban to manager Dave Roberts.
Baker and Roberts did not anticipate retaliation after Kelly threw a 96-mph fastball over the head of Alex Bregman, and a curveball over Carlos Correa’s head, but no one knows for sure. Kelly’s actions made him an instant folk hero in Los Angeles for retaliating against the Astros in the wake of their cheating scandal, and Roberts acknowledged that it was an emotional release. The Dodgers were the team most critical of the Astros in the aftermath of MLB’s report that they cheated using electronic signals during the 2017 season.
Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling, who said during the spring that he would considered intentionally hitting the Astros if he faced them, said that Kelly’s actions were well received in the clubhouse, particularly with the faces he made towards Correa. He even joked that a T-shirt may be made and passed around to the players.
