Grisham jumped lead to 96 mph from Valdez in the left seats for a large home to make a 6-0 match.
In the next At-Bat, the Yankees Anthony Volpe Yankees stop came, and it was then that Valdez seemed to express his dissatisfaction with Salazar.
Valdez pulled a lead of 93 mph just in Salazar’s chest, and the recipient was not prepared for this because he missed the ball, and he hit him in his chest protector. Salazar looked at Valdez who turned his back on him and returned to the mound after the field.
Salazar removed his mask and traveled a few steps towards the launcher’s mound before he returned the ball to Valdez.
The former MLB launcher and athletic diffuser, Dallas Braden, tweeted a video of the incident on X, and said it was “100% intentional” and called it “absolute trash behavior”.

Valdez was questioned after the match if she was intentional.
“No,” said Valdez. “It was not intentional.”
The 31 -year -old said he and Salazar had been crossed.
“What happened with us, we have just been crossed,” said Valdez in Spanish through a translator. “I called in this field, I threw him and we were crossed. We went downstairs and I apologized with him and I told him sorry and I assume full responsibility.”
Salazar said after the match that he, not Valdez, supported the bad button and that it was not on purpose.

“The stadium was noisy,” said Salazar. “I thought I had pressed the button, but I pressed the bad button. I expected another step, but that was not all.”
“Me and get rid of, we actually have a very good relationship.”
The Astros (76-63) – In particular Valdez and Salazar – will seek things to turn things when they play the Yankees (77-61) in the second match of their three -game series on Wednesday at 8:10 pm.
