Pitch Hits Helmet Ejection Follows | Chicago News

Baseball erupted in drama Thursday night when White Sox pitcher Davis Martin was ejected after accidentally hitting Reds’ Sal Stewart with a pitch that knocked his helmet off—just days after Stewart crushed a home run off Martin. The moment sparked chaos as both dugouts flooded the field, tempers flared, and benches cleared—but no fists flew. Despite no prior warnings, umpires made the call, and Martin’s ejection stood even after his manager argued. It’s a raw reminder of how quickly old-school baseball tensions can boil over, especially when a pitcher’s struggles collide with a hitter’s momentum.
