Seattle Mariners reliever Gabe Speier received a three-game suspension and a fine of an undisclosed amount for intentionally throwing at Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres during Wednesday’s game, MLB announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

Speier is appealing the suspension, which means he’s eligible to play until the process has been completed.<\/p>\n

Mariners manager Dan Wilson was also handed a one-game ban and fined an undisclosed amount. The skipper will serve his punishment during Thursday’s finale of the series.<\/p>\n

Speier hit Torres in the eighth inning of Seattle’s 4-2 win. The incident prompted the benches to clear, but no punches were thrown. The left-hander and Wilson were ejected during the fracas.<\/p>\n

The Mariners appeared to take exception after Cal Raleigh was hit in the seventh. <\/p>\n

“I guess they protected Raleigh,” Torres said postgame, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com<\/a>. “I don’t think we hit Raleigh on purpose. But that’s baseball. That’s their guy and I know they try to protect him.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I don’t try to fight with nobody. I’m not that type of guy. It is what it is. It’s all good.”<\/p>\n

Mariners starter Bryan Woo also hit three other Tigers earlier in the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seattle Mariners reliever Gabe Speier received a three-game suspension and a fine of an undisclosed amount for intentionally…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":848490,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-848489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=848489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/848490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=848489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=848489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=848489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
