Houston – The Tigers were leading by three runs in the ninth inning in Kansas City Wednesday and the Royals had runners on first and second with one out.
Catcher James McCann noticed Alex Rios was staring at him intently from second base, focusing completely on the signs he was flashing to pitcher Bruce Rondon.
McCann called timeout and walked out past Rondon toward second base and glared at Rios.
Message delivered. Busted.
“If you can relay signs and get away with it, good for you,” McCann said. “But if you get caught...”
McCann didn’t finish the sentence.
