Minneapolis — From the on-field dustup between the Tigers and White Sox on Monday, there are two separate battle fronts.
One is at home plate where Tigers' rookie right-hander Alex Lange drilled White Sox slugger Jose Abreu on the elbow with a 97-mph, 0-2 fastball in the top of the ninth inning.
The other is at second base, where Abreu's rage manifested itself in a hard, late, past-the-bag slide on Tigers shortstop Niko Goodrum that prompted both benches and bullpens to empty.
Goodrum was the only participant from the fracas who didn't speak after the game on Monday.
