Tigers Pitcher Framber Valdez Suspended 6 Games for Hitting Trevor Story
- On Tuesday, the benches cleared during the fourth inning of a game between the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox after Tigers pitcher Framber Valdez hit Boston shortstop Trevor Story with a pitch, though no punches were thrown.
- Tensions escalated after Willson Contreras and Wilyer Abreu hit back-to-back home runs off Valdez, extending the Red Sox lead to 10-2; Valdez then struck Story in the back with a 94-mph fastball on the following pitch.
- Crew chief Dan Iassogna immediately ejected Valdez after the incident, while Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler and plate umpire Adam Beck separated players; both teams returned to dugouts after a few minutes without further conflict.
- Addressing the pitch that hit Story, Valdez denied intentionality via an interpreter to ESPN News Services, stating, "What happened with us, we just got crossed up," while accepting full responsibility.
- Struggling this season with a 4.57 ERA through eight starts, Valdez previously hit New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham while pitching for the Houston Astros last September in a similar controversial moment.
