Then he tweeted: “I have much respect for the entire @tigers lineup”.

CLEVELAND A testy win for the Detroit Tigers wound up with Ian Kinsler getting tested for a concussion.
Carlos Carrasco, the Indians’ No. 2 starting pitcher, will miss the rest of the season after breaking his right hand when hit by a line drive off the bat of Detroit’s Ian Kinsler on the second pitch of a 1-0, 10-inning victory over the Tigers.
“But it will make this more challenging, what we’re trying to do, ” Francona said. But if you can’t command the ball inside, you’ve got to maybe not go inside. You never want to see somebody get hit in the head.
ATHLETICS 11, RANGERS 2: Joey Wendle led off the game with his first major league homer for Oakland, Marcus Semien also went deep against Yu Darvish and the visiting Athletics beat AL-best Texas. “That has no place in the game”. I know saying sorry for it doesnt really change that it happened..
RED SOX 6, YANKEES 5: Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs, Mookie Betts had the tying single before scoring the go-ahead run and host Boston earned its third straight win over NY.
Miguel Cabrera – He reached base four times, including his 2,500th hit. Bauer tossed his glove to the ground and crouched behind the mound. “We only got one guy past second base in the whole game (Saturday)”.
Tigers starter Daniel Norris responded by throwing behind Indians center fielder Rajai Davis (a former Tiger) in the bottom of the third.
“I’m not happy about it”, said Detroit manager Brad Ausmus. “I mean, Carrasco aside, that was a fun game to be a part of”. After the game I talked to him and he was a little dizzy.. Kinsler was ejected after the end of the fifth inning for arguing with Baker.
Bauer then hit Victor Martinez with a pitch, his second of the inning and third of the game, to put the Tigers on the board.
Miggy already has 441 career home runs and over 1,500 RBIs, so chances are good he could become just the third player all-time to record 500 homers, 3,000 hits, and 2,000 RBIs, along with Aaron and Rodriguez.
The Indians answered back with a home run by Carlos Santana off Alex Wilson in the bottom of the sixth to cut the Tigers’ lead to 6-5. Vargas, who was making his first start in 423 days after having Tommy John surgery on August 5, 2015, gave up a first-inning run on Melky Cabrera’s RBI single, but retired eight of the last nine batters he faced. The drive cleared the 19-foot high wall in centre field and travelled an estimated 450 feet, and Upton stood at home plate for several seconds admiring the homer before slowly trotting around the bases.
