Detroit Tigers pitcher Framber Valdez drew the ire of his own manager on Tuesday night after he hit Boston Red Sox batter Trevor Story<\/a> with a pitch in the fourth inning, causing the benches to empty.<\/p>\n

Valdez struck Story after allowing home runs to Willson Contreras and Wilyer Abreu. Valdez\u2019s pitch to Story\u2019s body came in at 94 mph. Story stared down Valdez as Tigers catcher<\/a> Dillon Dingler and home plate umpire Adam Beck got in between the two.<\/p>\n

Players and staff from both teams came out of the dugout, but no punches were thrown.<\/p>\n

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch<\/a> wasn\u2019t too pleased with Valdez after the game.<\/p>\n

“We play a really good brand of baseball here. That didn’t feel like it,” Hinch said, via ESPN<\/a>. “It’s 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 you’re in your right. And it didn’t feel good being out there.”<\/p>\n

“So I understand their frustrations. I understand the moment, and it was a low moment of a frustrating night,” Hinch continued.<\/p>\n

Valdez, who was ejected, said through an interpreter that his actions weren\u2019t intentional.<\/p>\n

“It was not intentional,” he said. “It might look like it, but it wasn’t. I was trying to throw strikes after the two consecutive home runs. I was trying to go back in the zone and that pitch came out of my hand.”<\/p>\n

Story disputed Valdez\u2019s claim.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s pretty undisputable,” he said. “I was in there ready to hit and it showed up way behind me and off the numbers. We all know what\u2019s what.”<\/p>\n

Boston won the game, 10-3.<\/p>\n
