It was not the first time this has happened between the two players and Smith looked to have had enough of it. The Dodgers catcher has already spent time in the injury list due to a concussion this season and made it clear to Ozuna that he was not having it any longer. The altercation almost cleared the benches of both teams, but things calmed down before getting out of hand. They have two more games left in the series which promises to be an explosive affair until the end.
