The Rangers won the American League West title for the second straight season, with the best record in the American League. However, for the second straight year, they lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS, this time in three games. The Rangers set an MLB record by going 36–11 in one-run games.

Following a contentious meeting in the ALDS the previous season, many people thought the Rangers would target Jose Bautista for his controversial bat flip in the ALDS. However, the first six games of the season between the clubs were played without incident. Finally, in the last regular season game between the clubs, Rangers reliever Matt Bush hit Bautista in the ribs with a fastball. On the ensuing play, Bautista slid hard into Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor. Odor, taking exception, pushed Bautista, then proceeded to punch Bautista squarely in the face. This fight caused both benches and bullpens to clear.https://www.si.com/mlb/2016/05/15/watch-blue-jays-rangers-brawl-after-takeout-slide Watch: Blue Jays, Rangers brawl after takeout slide Sports Illustrated May 15, 2016Andrew Joseph http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/05/rangers-rougned-odor-punches-jose-bautista-brawl-blue-jays-mlb Rangers player punches Jose Bautista in the face during huge bench-clearing brawl USA Today May 15, 2016 Bautista, Odor, Steve Buechele, and Josh Donaldson were ejected after the brawl.http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/15554767/texas-rangers-rougned-odor-lands-punch-face-toronto-blue-jays-jose-bautista-brawl Bad blood: Odor socks Bautista to set off brawl 2016-09-01 Later in the game, Blue Jays pitcher Jesse Chavez hit Prince Fielder with a pitch causing the benches to clear again, although this time no punches were thrown.
