DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera said he's OK after being hit in the face by Nicholas Castellanos' batting helmet Wednesday night in a crazy case of misdirected -- or literally, redirected -- frustration.
Castellanos was lifted for pinch-runner Andrew Romine after an eighth-inning single with a 4-0 Tigers lead. Castellanos clearly wasn't happy about the move, and after returning to the Tigers' dugout, he seemed to try to slam his helmet into the rack. Replays showed that when he did, the helmet bounced back, flying past him and hitting Cabrera, who was standing behind him.
