A look at what’s happening around the majors today:SPYGATE [url=http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-chase-utley-jersey]http://ww... , THE SEQUELThe Houston Astros might find themselves defending more than their World Series title. The champions are under scrutiny after Cleveland filed a complaint to Major League Baseball about a man associated with Houston attempting to film in the Indians’ dugout during Game 3 of the AL Division Series last week, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday night because of the sensitivity of the matter. MLB also says it is aware of a report by Metro Boston that a man claiming to be an Astros employee was removed from a credentialed area near the Red Sox dugout during the AL Championship Series opener at Fenway Park.In a statement, MLB said the matter “will be handled internally” and offered no other details.Astros manager AJ Hinch was questioned about the Metro report following Tuesday’s game and said he was aware of the alleged incident but said he hadn’t been briefed. He’s certain to be asked again, especially since the Indians’ complaint was not reported until after Hinch had finished his postgame remarks.LAST LOOK?Clayton Kershaw starts Game 5 of the NL Championship Series at home against Milwaukee in what could conceivably be his final outing in a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform. The three-time Cy Young Award winner can opt out of the last two years and $70 million remaining on his contract after the World Series. Dodgers ownership has made it clear the team would like its longtime ace to stay. “I have not made a decision,” Kershaw said Tuesday. The 30-year-old lefty acknowledged after his last regular-season start that he had considered the possibility of it being his last go-round with the Dodgers, the only team he’s played for during his big league career. Wade Miley pitches for Milwaukee on three days’ rest, with the best-of-seven series tied at two games apiece. “For me it’s just trying to focus as much as I possibly can on the Brewers and getting ready,” Kershaw said, “and putting everything else on the back burner as best I possibly can.”EXTRA RESTHouston hopes Charlie Morton won’t be too rusty when he makes his 2018 playoff debut in Game 4 of the AL Championship Series against Boston. Morton, who spent time on the disabled list late in the year with shoulder discomfort, hasn’t pitched since the regular-season finale Sept. 30. Rick Porcello starts for the Red Sox after appearing in relief in Game 2. Boston leads 2-1 after a grand slam by Jackie Bradley Jr., his second big hit in the series, broke open an 8-2 victory in Game 3.GETTING DIRTYTensions could be on the rise in the NLCS after Dodgers slugger Manny Machado stepped into trouble again Tuesday night. Both benches emptied after Machado clipped the back leg of Milwaukee first baseman Jesus Aguilar while running out a groundout in Game 4. Aguilar left his foot on the base for a moment after Machado was already out [url=http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-richie-ashburn-jersey]Richie Ashburn Jersey[/url] , and the star shortstop appeared to show his displeasure by bringing his left foot forward and kicking Aguilar on the back of the leg. Aguilar looked annoyed and the two exchanged words, but no punches were thrown. “He’s a player that has a history of those types of incidents,” Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich said about Machado. “It’s a dirty play by a dirty player.” Aguilar, however, said the two talked it out after Machado singled in the 13th inning. “We’re family. Things happen,” said Machado, who scored the winning run moments later. “He’s a great guy. We go way back since the minor leagues.”HELP WANTEDMilwaukee is expected to add a new arm for the rest of the NLCS after starter Gio Gonzalez left Game 4 in the second inning when he twisted his ankle trying to field Yasiel Puig’s infield single. Gonzalez has a high ankle sprain and it’s likely he’ll need to be replaced on the roster, manager Craig Counsell said. Following the injury to Gonzalez, the Brewers burned through much of their bullpen during a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers in 13 innings. “We’ll have to kind of put our heads together and look at what we’ve got,” Counsell said. “We’re in a little bit of a tough spot, for sure.” NEW YORK (AP) — Didn’t take long for a refreshed Jay Bruce to get right back in the swing of things.Bruce hit a two-run homer in his return from an extended stay on the disabled list, Jason Vargas tossed six stellar innings and the New York Mets beat Washington 3-0 on Friday night to hand the Nationals their second consecutive shutout.“Happy to help. It’s good to be back. It makes you thankful to be here,” Bruce said at his locker [url=http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-chuck-klein-jersey]Chuck Klein Jersey[/url] , still in full custom uniform with “Bruuuce” written across the back on Players Weekend.Wilmer Flores had an early RBI single and the Mets got spotless relief work from Seth Lugo and Robert Gsellman to finish a four-hitter.The stingy pitching finally helped New York get the best of a familiar nemesis in Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez (7-11), who has lost nine of his last 10 decisions. The left-hander allowed only one run in seven innings but dropped to 11-2 with a 1.75 ERA at Citi Field and 15-6 against the Mets in his career.“It’s a beautiful, family-oriented ballpark,” Gonzalez said. “I just have this kind of feel for pitching here.”Bruce was activated before the game after missing more than two months with a sore right hip, and the Mets plan to audition the veteran outfielder at first base down the stretch. But the three-time All-Star started at his regular spot in right field during his first big league game since June 17 and connected against lefty reliever Tim Collins in the eighth.The drive to right-center was only the fourth home run this season for Bruce, who batted just .212 with 17 RBIs in 62 games before landing on the DL.“Little bit of rejuvenation of getting up there, coming back, the lights, the energy, the fans, the balls — you name it, it’s great,” he said.Featuring a deceptive changeup [url=http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-jimmy-foxx-jersey]http://www... , Vargas (4-8) permitted three hits and struck out a season-high eight without issuing a walk.The resurgent lefty, who entered with a 7.67 ERA, has put together two straight wins and three solid starts in a row late in his previously dismal season.“I’ve been able to keep the ball down in the strike zone for the most part, and I think that usually leads to more success for me,” he said.Vargas fanned Bryce Harper, Ryan Zimmerman and rookie slugger Juan Soto, the 3-4-5 batters in Washington’s lineup, in the fourth — part of six strikeouts in a span of seven hitters.“We were just chasing a lot of pitches down,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. “When we face a guy that throws a good changeup, left-handed, we struggle against that.”Lugo threw two perfect innings, striking out three, and Gsellman closed for his eighth save . After a one-out double by Anthony Rendon in the ninth [url=http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-darren-daulton-jersey]Darren Daulton Jersey[/url] , Gsellman struck out Harper and retired Zimmerman on a game-ending grounder.Washington (64-65) was blanked 2-0 on Thursday by All-Star ace Aaron Nola and the Phillies. The Nationals have lost eight of 12 and been shut out 13 times this season, third-most in the majors.“We have to start putting the ball in play and scoring some runs,” Martinez said.GREAT SAVE!The jagged barrel of Harper’s broken bat went flying six or seven rows into the stands behind New York’s dugout in the first inning. With two young boys sitting next to him, perhaps in real danger, a man wearing a Mets jersey reached up and protected them by knocking away the sharp-edged lumber . It appeared nobody got hurt.TRAINER’S ROOMNationals: Gonzalez got hit on the left ankle by a line drive in the sixth. Twice he was checked by a trainer and Martinez, but a limping, grimacing Gonzalez stayed in the game. “It was a little tender. I was just thinking the whole time, just have to finish this inning, have to finish this inning,” he said. “I won’t quite feel the result of it until tomorrow. … If it wasn’t for the padding on the cleat, would have been worse.” … Stephen Strasburg said he felt good after throwing about 40 pitches in a bullpen session, Martinez said, and the right-hander remains scheduled to make his next start. After missing a month with a pinched nerve in his neck [url=http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-maikel-franco-jersey]http://... , Strasburg returned Wednesday and lasted four innings against Philadelphia. … Washington closer Sean Doolittle (left toe inflammation) threw on flat ground again and felt pretty good, Martinez said.Mets: David Wright went 1 for 4 with a single in his ninth rehab game for Class A St. Lucie. He had two assists and a putout in nine innings at third base. The Mets’ captain, who hasn’t appeared in the majors since May 2016 because of back and shoulder injuries, is hitting .143 (4 for 28). … C Devin Mesoraco sat out with neck stiffness. New York manager Mickey Callaway said Mesoraco had an MRI that revealed only muscular issues, so he won’t need to go on the DL and he could catch in a pinch.UP NEXTWashington RHP Tanner Roark (8-12, 4.05 ERA) faces Mets RHP Zack Wheeler (8-6, 3.63) on Saturday afternoon. Roark is 5-0 with a 1.63 ERA in his past six starts. Wheeler, who beat the Nationals at home on July 14, is 6-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his last seven outings.
