Detroit Tigers left-hander Framber Valdez received a six-game ban and was fined an undisclosed amount for hitting Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story during Tuesday's 10-3 loss, MLB announced Wednesday.
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch also got a one-game suspension and was fined an undisclosed amount. He will serve his punishment Wednesday against the Red Sox.
Valdez gave up back-to-back homers in the fourth inning before plunking Story. Both dugouts emptied in response.
