Major League Baseball told the O's and Red Sox to cool it. The pitch was a 98-mph fastball in Machado's first at-bat.

Manny Machado made a late and probably ill-advised slide on Dustin Pedroia, causing some minor injury.

The Orioles caught a flight home to Baltimore, the Red Sox hit the road for Minnesota, and finally the dust began to settle after the teams' eye-for-an-eye feud that consumed much of the past two weeks. Dylan Bundy's fastballs at Mookie Betts' hip may have slipped under the radar.

Hennick said he notified team security of the incident and the man was ejected from the game, noted Boston.com.

On Tuesday, the Red Sox also issued an apology for racist behavior exhibited Monday night toward Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones, who said a fan threw a bag of peanuts at him and called him the N-word. LHP David Price (left elbow strain) threw three simulated innings with pitch velocity between 93 miles per hour and 95 miles per hour.

A Boston Red Sox fan was banned for life from Fenway Park after he used a racial slur during a conversation with another fan at the ballpark Tuesday.

"In the very beginning we really wanted to put a feel on it because, and I think the world of him, but David has that tendency as he's building to not build", Dave Dombrowski said. Hughes gave up one run and six hits in 62/3 innings while striking out four in his deepest outing of the season for the Twins.

Was he trying to send Boston a message by showing up the pitcher in retaliation for being thrown at by other Red Sox pitchers?

Machado has a team-leading seven homers this season, including three in the Orioles' heated four-game series with Boston.

In a four-game set marred by beanballs, brushbacks and racial rancor, the finale was a sedate affair decided in the fourth when the Orioles turned a two-run deficit into a 6-3 lead. Now let's see some stats!

Hours after a conference call to tell the Red Sox and Orioles "Enough is enough", Baltimore starter Kevin Gausman was ejected in the second inning for hitting a batter and Boston went on to win 4-2 Wednesday night.

Despite being booed this week, Machado said he doesn't care.

In the series, Machado went 4-for-18 with three homers and six RBI.

And in Boston, Machado is in the crosshairs, replacing A-Rod as the player Red Sox fans most love to loath. RHP Tyler Thornburg (right shoulder impingement) was transferred to the 60-day DL. The Red Sox confirmed that the left-hander will be on the mound on Sunday against the Twins.
