The Houston Astros holder, Framber Valdez, fought in the 7-1 team defeat against the New York Yankees on Tuesday and seemed to broadcast his frustrations in his own receiver, Cesar Salazar.
The Yankees led 2-0 in the fifth entrance with the bases loaded and two outs. The central gardener of the Yankees, Trent Grisham, was hitting and forward in the 1-0 count.
The launch clock was finishing on Valdez and Salazar mentioned with his hands so that Valdez got off the mound and wearing a waiting time. Valdez ignored Salazar and delivered the launch just before the launch clock expired.

Grisham hit Valdez’s 96 mph sinking on the left field seats for a Grand Slam to be a 6-0 game.
In the next turn of the bat, the Yankees campocort, Anthony Volpe appeared, and that was when Valdez seemed to express his disgust with Salazar.
Valdez fired a 93 mph hundidor just in Salazar’s chest, and the receiver was not prepared for it when he lost the ball, and hit him in the protector of his chest. Salazar looked back at Valdez, who turned his back on him and returned to the mound after the field.
Salazar took off the mask and walked a couple of steps towards the pitcher’s mound before throwing the ball back to Valdez.
The former MLB pitcher and athletic announcer, Dallas Braden, tweeted a video of the incident in X, and said it was “100% intentional” and called it “absolute garbage behavior.”

Valdez was asked after the game if he was intentional.
No, “said Valdez. “It was not intentional.”
The 31 -year -old said that he and Salazar were crossed.
“What happened to us, we crossed,” Valdez said in Spanish through a translator. “I called that launch, I threw it and crossed. We went down to the bench and excused myself with him and asked him for forgiveness and assumed all the responsibility of that.”
Salazar said after the game that he, did not validate the wrong button and that it was not on purpose.

“The stadium was noisy,” said Salazar. “I thought I had pressed the button, but I pressured the wrong button. I expected another release, but it was not so.”
“Framber and I have a very good relationship.”
The Astros (76-63), especially Valdez and Salazar, will seek to change things when they play the Yankees (77-61) in the second game of their three-game series on Wednesday at 8:10 pm et.
