New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – Boston Red Sox pitcher Brandon Workman was fined and suspended six games by Major League Baseball on Tuesday for throwing at Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria in a game last Friday.<\/p>\n
Workman’s pitch in the sixth inning sailed behind Longoria’s back and came after the benches had already cleared once in the game.<\/p>\n
The hostilities began in the first inning when Rays starter David Price hit Red Sox slugger David Ortiz in the hip with a pitch.<\/p>\n
Red Sox manager John Farrell was ejected by home plate umpire Dan Bellino, who issued warnings to both benches after the pitch.<\/p>\n
The benches cleared after Price hit Mike Carp in fourth inning. Red Sox bench coach Torey Lovullo, the acting manager, was ejected for arguing.<\/p>\n
Boston third-base coach Brian Butterfield, the second acting manager of the day, was automatically ejected after Workman’s pitch behind Longoria.<\/p>\n
Hitting coach Greg Colbrunn ended the game as the Boston’s acting manager and the Red Sox won the game 3-2 on A.J. Pierzynski’s walk-off triple in the 10th inning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
