reliever Matt Barnes was ejected from Sunday’s game at Camden Yards after a 90-mph pitch went behind the head of Orioles third baseman Manny Machado and hit his bat.
Machado found himself in another firestorm this week after a perceived late slide into second base Friday night that injured Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia and drew the ire of Red Sox manager John Farrell and many teammates.
With the Orioles trailing 6-0 in the eighth inning, Barnes, who topped out at 95 mph in the outing, lost a pitch that sailed toward Machado’s head.
