Framber Valdez Suspended for Hitting Trevor Story
MLB ruled Valdez intentionally hit Story after back-to-back Boston homers, turning a tense game into a discipline case.
Framber Valdez was suspended after MLB ruled he intentionally hit Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story with the first pitch of an at-bat that followed back-to-back Red Sox home runs. The pitch landed at the exact moment everyone in the park could read the message. Boston had just gone deep twice in a row, and Valdez’s next offering to Story brought baseball’s retaliation culture straight into view.
