The Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers had benches and bullpens clear in the eighth inning of Wednesday night's game after Mariners reliever Gabe Speier hit Tigers' Gleyber Torres with a pitch. The incident led to the ejection of both Speier and Mariners manager Dan Wilson.

Accounts differ on the full scope of hit batters in the game. ESPN reported that Torres was hit by the fourth pitch in the series of hit batters, while MLB.com cited five total HBPs. Sportsnet's reporting indicated both Cal Raleigh of Seattle and Torres were drilled by pitches during the sequence.

The Mariners won the game 4-2. Julio Rodríguez hit a three-run homer, and ESPN also reported that Colt Emerson homered. Bryan Woo pitched seven scoreless innings for Seattle.
