Astros starter Hunter Brown and Angels shortstop Zach Neto exchanged angry words after the latter was hit during the third inning Friday.

Brown took exception to Neto's reaction, repeatedly and profanely telling him to stop crowding the plate. Cue the benches clearing, though with no punches thrown or ejections. Both Brown and Neto were guided away from each other.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop and Houston Astros starting pitcher tell their sides of the hit-by-pitch situation that occurred in Friday's game.
