BASEBALL / DAILY REPORT : ANGELS : Rodgers, Gaston: Fight Is Over

Angel Manager Buck Rodgers and Toronto Manager Cito Gaston say they don’t anticipate lingering hostility when the two teams begin a three-game series tonight at the SkyDome.

When they met last Wednesday in Anaheim, a brawl ensued, resulting in six ejections and an 18-minute delay. American League President Bobby Brown is expected to announce possible suspensions and fines today.

“I don’t think there’s any bad blood. It was just a bad situation,” Rodgers said. “I think bad blood has to occur over the course of time. One game doesn’t do that.”

Said Gaston: “I don’t anticipate anything to happen, either. We’re just going to play our game, just like we did before.”
