Framber Valdez ejected after hit batsman, benches clear

sportsMay 6, 20261659

Framber Valdez was ejected in the fourth inning after his 60th pitch hit Red Sox infielder Trevor Story in the upper back, prompting both benches to clear in Detroit. Valdez had allowed 10 runs over four innings as the Red Sox beat the Tigers 10-3. Valdez said through a translator the HBP was not intentional and that he was trying to throw strikes after consecutive home runs. The ejection ended Valdez's start and forced Detroit to turn to relievers earlier, worsening an already lopsided loss.
