Mariners vs Tigers: Payback Pitch | Detroit Tigers News

A wild Wednesday night brawl between the Mariners and Tigers erupted when five batters were hit by pitches, sparking a chaotic field-clearing incident before Framber Valdez took the mound Thursday. The spark came in the 8th when Gabe Speier plunked Gleyber Torres, igniting a tense melee that ended with both Speier and manager Dan Wilson ejected. The fallout? A two-run homer that nearly cost the Mariners a comfortable win. Now, facing off against Valdez — a pitcher with a history of ejections and injuries caused by his pitches — the Mariners must stay focused. This is a rubber match for a wild card spot, and letting emotions take over could be their undoing. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
