Benches Clear After Reds' Sal Stewart Thrown at Twice by White Sox
Sal Stewart was in a fighting mood after two pitches came toward his head, one of which hit him against the Chicago White Sox.
Sal Stewart, the Cincinnati Reds first baseman, was thrown at twice by Chicago White Sox pitcher Davis Martin during a game on Thursday. Stewart believed the second pitch was intentional, leading to a bench clearing incident. The benches cleared, words were exchanged, and the Reds ultimately won the game 9-8. This incident occurred during a difficult season for the Reds, who are currently in a 2-6 slump and have the seventh-worst team ERA and fourth-worst WHIP in MLB.
Manager Terry Francona expressed his displeasure, stating that throwing two balls head high was unacceptable and could potentially be dangerous.
