Manny Machado faces a suspension after attempting to throw his bat at Fernando Abad in the eighth inning of Sunday's game between the Baltimore Orioles and Oakland Athletics.

After an inside pitch, Machado said the bat slipped out of his hands, but no one seems to be buying the story.

Even Orioles play-by-play announcer Gary Thorne accused Machado of deliberately releasing the bat.

The bat ended up flying down the third-base line.

Machado was ejected after the incident and benches cleared. It was the culmination of a series of issues between the two clubs during their weekend series.
