Kason Gabbard attacked

Former Red Sox pitcher Kason Gabbard, who you may remember was traded last year to Texas along with David Murphy for relief pitcher Eric Gagne, was in the center of a nasty incident last night in Seattle.

It started when Gabbard's teammate, second baseman Ian Kinsler, who had homered earlier in the game, was hit by a pitch from Seattle's Felix Hernandez.

Later, Gabbard, who was making his first start after a stint on the disabled list, threw high to Seattle's all-or-nothing power hitter Richie Sexson. The pitch wasn't really that far inside, but Sexson took exception, charging the mound and throwing his helmet at Gabbard.

Sexson was ejected. Gabbard remained in the game, but not for long. He faced two more hitters after the fourth-inning confrontation with Sexson, then left the game with an apparent leg injury.
