Major League Baseball found in January 2020 that members of the Astros stole illegally used technology to steal signs of the opposing teams during 2017 and 2018 seasons.

Following the MLB investigation, Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and field manager A.J. Hinch were suspended for the 2020 season for failing to prevent the rule violations.

There were more than 50,000 fans packed in Dodger Stadium ready to speak out against the Astros.

Dodgers lost to the Astros 3-0 in the Tuesday night game.
