There’s a good chance shortstop Tim Anderson will hear boos when the Chicago White Sox make their next trip to Kauffman Stadium.
Anderson flipped his bat after hitting a two-run homer off Royals starter Brad Keller in the fourth inning of Wednesday afternoon’s game in front of 14,358 fans at Guaranteed Rate Field. In his next time up, Anderson was hit by a pitch from Keller, and both benches emptied.
Royals manager Ned Yost and White Sox manager Rick Renteria had words on the field during the brouhaha.
A number of Royals fans were not happy with Anderson, and at least one major-league player spoke out on Twitter.
