Reds, White Sox Benches, Bullpens Empty in Fiery Series Finale
Martin was ejected after his second pitch hit Sal Stewart, as Chicago entered the game leading the majors with 74 hit-by-pitches.
- On Thursday, Chicago White Sox pitcher Davis Martin hit Cincinnati Reds rookie Sal Stewart in the head with a pitch, prompting both benches and bullpens to empty at Rate Field.
- Tensions escalated after Stewart hit a 419-foot home run in the first inning, a shot he admired before running; Martin had also hit Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson earlier in the game.
- When Stewart batted in the third, Martin threw a pitch over his head, followed by one that clipped his helmet. Stewart shouted, "Hey, , that's twice!" while pointing his bat at the pitcher.
- Umpires huddled after the incident and ejected Martin from the game, leading Chicago manager Will Venable to bring in Erick Fedde to continue the 4-3 game.
- Stewart was booed by Chicago fans every time he batted for the remainder of the game, while Venable faces a 16-consecutive-game stretch to manage.
