In sports, tempers flare. It happens.
Usually the anger is directed at opponents, but Detroit Tigers teammates James McCann and Jose Iglesias went at each other in the dugout Friday night at Comerica Park.
The two were jawing while the Boston Red Sox took the field in the bottom of the sixth inning, and then Iglesias threw a shove before hurling his glove at McCann.
Brian J. Manzullo of the Detroit Free Press believes the scrap, which was broken up by teammates, was over Iglesias’ casual approach to a grounder up the middle in the top half of the inning off the bat of Boston's Rusney Castillo:
The Tigers came into the night 10.5 games back of the Kansas City Royals in the AL Central, so frustration might be a factor here, too.
