Giants get revenge on Reds slugger after profanity-laced attack
New York Post • • general
Key Points:
- Spencer Steer was hit by a 93 MPH fastball from Landen Roupp at the start of the Reds-Giants game, seemingly in retaliation for Steer's earlier confrontation with Giants reliever JT Brubaker.
- The incident followed Steer’s visible anger and profane outburst at Brubaker during the previous day's game after a delayed pitch, which had drawn attention during the broadcast.
- The game featured further tensions, including Giants’ Willy Adames being hit by a 98 MPH pitch, leading to benches clearing but no physical altercations.
- The Giants won the game 3-0, and despite the heated exchanges, both teams returned to their dugouts without incident.
- The Reds and Giants will not face each other again until August, leaving time for tempers to cool, though the animosity from this series is likely to linger.
