The Boston Red Sox took care of the Detroit Tigers in a 10-3 win on Tuesday, but Framber Valdez hitting Trevor Story in the back in the fourth inning has been a big talking point since the game ended.
Valdez hit Story after giving up back-to-back home runs, making the score 10-2. Story had to wear a four-seam fastball off the numbers in the next at-bat. It was the only four-seamer Valdez has thrown all season, and given his track record of hitting batters when things are not going his way, it is hard to believe it was an accident.
Valdez claimed that he did not intentionally throw at Story, but even his manager had a hard time seeing it that way.
âWe play a really good brand of baseball here. That didnât feel like it,â AJ Hinch told reporters after the game. âItâs not judging intent. I have no idea. But I know when you go out on the field, and you end up sort of in those confrontations, you usually feel like youâre in your right. And it didnât feel good being out there.â
