MINNEAPOLIS — Niko Goodrum pointed to his elbow.
"That hurts, especially on the elbow," Goodrum said Tuesday, before the Detroit Tigers began a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins. "He's mad. I get it. But then you are responsible for your actions. We're all grown. We're not kids anymore. From there, that's what he decided to do."
On Monday afternoon, Chicago White Sox slugger Jose Abreu darted toward second base at Comerica Park. Without context, the 34-year-old and reigning American League MVP appeared to be stealing second base on a ball in the dirt from Tigers rookie reliever Alex Lange, who pitched the ninth inning in an 8-7 loss against the AL Central leaders.
