Kelly threw high pitches at both Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa during Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros, eventually causing both benches to clear:

The pitcher was suspended eight games for his actions while manager Dave Roberts was suspended one game.

The Astros notably used illegal technology to steal signs on their way to a World Series in 2017. 

"S--t makes sense now," Stroman said in January after hearing about the scandal. "I remember wondering how these guys were laying off some of my nasty pitches. Relaying all my signs in live speed to the batter. Ruining the integrity of the game."

Although he said he wouldn't throw at players, he clearly doesn't like the punishment handed out to someone who did.
