The incident occured in the 5th inning of Astros vs Mariners game, Framber Valdez was not having a great night and Dylan Moore slammed a homerun off Valdez to stretch Mariners lead to 6-2. On the next pitch Valdez drills a 96 mph pitch to Mariners shortstop Jose Caballero, the incident triggered the batter and he confronted Valdez with words, in return the Astros pitcher started walking towards the batter and that is when other players stepped in and benches were cleared.
The move by Framber Valdez was suspicious, Astros pitcher could show his temper at times and that was the reason for such a chaotic incident. Mariners star Julio Rodriguez was trying his best to make peace, he held Valdez and took the pitcher away from the chaos, a move that was loved by fans throughout the league.
