It Seems Like Frambler Valdez May Have Hit Trevor Story After He Found Out About A Pitch Relaying Masterclass By The Red Sox

Valdez allowed a career-worst 10 runs and was ejected after hitting Trevor Story, as Boston’s benches cleared and the Red Sox won 10-3.

  • On Tuesday, Detroit Tigers pitcher Framber Valdez was ejected after hitting Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story with a 94-mph fastball during the fourth inning, triggering a bench-clearing incident in the Red Sox's 10-3 win at Comerica Park.
  • Valdez's frustration mounted after surrendering back-to-back solo home runs to Willson Contreras and Wilyer Abreu to start the fourth inning, pushing Boston's run total to 10 and prompting the 94.4 mph pitch behind Story.
  • Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy called the pitch "weak," while Story contended it was "pretty undisputable" he was hit intentionally. Valdez countered through an interpreter, "It might look like it, but it wasn't."
  • Play resumed after the benches cleared, though no punches were thrown. Detroit faces potential suspension for Valdez, threatening a roster already depleted with three starting pitchers on the injured list.
  • The Red Sox and Tigers resume their series Wednesday at 6:40 P.M. EST, with Boston navigating a turbulent season that included the firing of manager Alex Cora on Saturday amid historically poor offensive performance.
