'It was crazy': Ron Gardenhire feeling better after allergic reaction

Detroit — Manager Ron Gardenhire was back in his office, bouncing around the field during batting practice and generally looking fine.

Maybe still a bit puffy around the lips, but otherwise, just fine.

Gardenhire left Tuesday’s game in the third inning when an allergic reaction made him swollen, particularly around the face, and breaking out in red rashes.

“It was a bad feeling,” Gardenhire said Wednesday. “I thought it was an abscessed tooth or something. It tingled and went away, then came back.”

The redness and uncomfortable feeling returned with a vengeance and “didn’t look good," said Gardenhire.
