Astros reliever Hector Neris thought Trevor Story of the Red Sox was stealing his signs, so he intentionally balked him to third base. Neris got the third out on the following pitch, but Neris chirped at Story as they were each leaving the field, clearing the benches:

Astros and Red Sox, two teams with sign-stealing cheating histories. Nothing to see here though. If Story was stealing pitches, it was on Neris for not disguising it. If your going to show the baserunner the pitch in your glove, he's got every right to alert the batter. That's been going on as long as the game itself.
