sportsMay 6, 20262091

Framber Valdez was ejected in the fourth inning after his 60th pitch hit Trevor Story in the upper back, prompting a benches-clearing incident 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 hit-by-pitch "was not intentional" and he was trying to throw strikes after consecutive home runs, while Tigers manager AJ Hinch said the confrontation "didn't feel good."
