Cleveland — It didn’t take long for the emotions to rise to the surface.
The Tigers were on edge to start with. Having been drubbed by the Indians 14 times last season, they came in looking for some retribution.
But when the first pitch Indians starter Trevor Bauer threw to Miguel Cabrera was high and tight — well, it was on. You might remember Bauer’s start against the Tigers at Progressive Field last September. He drilled Ian Kinsler (in the head), Victor Martinez and Cabrera in that game.
The Tigers hadn’t forgotten.
Cabrera immediately turned and started yelling at the Indians dugout.
