IN THE TEXAS LEAGUE starting in the 19th century, Dallas and Houston battled in different versions of the circuit over the decades. And so despite 135 years of history, it's easy to make the case that, until these two teams meet someday in October, this series is the crescendo for the sport in Texas. There weren't any punches thrown, but Semien and Martin Maldonado were ejected after their back-and-forth preceded the near melee. The last time the teams met, benches cleared. Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander began this season as teammates with the New York Mets but joined this rivalry, on opposite sides, at the trade deadline. This is a best-case scenario, though, and one that may be in jeopardy after Scherzer had to leave his last start early with forearm tightness.
