The clubs met again after a confrontational exchange in Tuesday’s game, which left one player facing an 8-game suspension, a one-game suspension for the Dodger’s manager Dave Roberts and a fine for Astros general manager Dusty Baker.

Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly threw a pitch in the area of Astros’ Alex Bregman’s head and later taunted Carlos Correa, which led to the benches clearing, officials said.
