A benches-clearing scrum has led to suspensions in Major League Baseball on Thursday.

MLB announced that Seattle Mariners left-handed reliever Gabe Speier and manager Dan Wilson have both been suspended after the league deemed that Speier intentionally beaned Detroit Tigers infielder Gleyber Torres during Wednesday’s game.

Speier was docked three games and fined an undisclosed amount, per MLB. Wilson, however, got just one game as well as an undisclosed fine.

The incident occurred in the top of the eighth inning during the Mariners’ 4-2 victory. With two outs and a 1-0 count to Torres, Speier was clearly targeting the right-handed hitter with his next pitch, and he succeeded by hitting him in the leg with a 96-mph fastball.

Why did Speier intentionally throw at Torres? It seemed to be retaliation for a hit-by-pitch in the frame prior.
