Detroit Tigers' Javier Báez ejected after bad call, heated exchange with umpire Phil Cuzzi
Javier Báez was upset. So upset he had to be held back by third base coach Joey Cora and teammate Gleyber Torres after getting ejected by home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi in the fifth inning Monday, May 26, against the San Francisco Giants at Comerica Park. Báez and Cuzzi exchanged words — multiple times. Advertisement Báez also tried to attack Cuzzi. Thankfully, Cora and Torres teamed up to restrain him. JEFF SEIDEL: Does it matter that Tigers have a fun-loving clubhouse with a bunch of good dudes? Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch — who came out of the dugout to argue the pitch call but was not ejected — used his right arm to help Cora keep Báez away from Cuzzi before Torres arrived on the scene. From there, Hinch focused on his conversation with Cuzzi. Báez was ejected for arguing a called-third strike. The full-count pitch — a down-and-away curveball from Giants right-hander Haden Birdsong — was called a strike by Cuzzi, even though it was clearly off the plate. Advertisement It should've been a ball. Instead of drawing a walk, Báez was rung up on a missed call. He was allowed to express his displeasure immediately after the strikeout, but when his protest dragged on, he was promptly ejected for arguing balls and strikes. That's when Báez tried to go after Cuzzi. In the scuffle, Cora lost his helmet while restraining Báez. But no one was injured. In the 2025 season, Báez is hitting .286 with six home runs, five walks and 38 strikeouts in 45 games. He was replaced in center field by Matt Vierling in the sixth inning.

(AP Photo/Paul Sancya) DETROIT (AP) — Tarik Skubal gave up two hits and matched a career high with 13 strikeouts in his first professional complete game, Zach McKinstry had a two-run homer in a five-run fourth inning and the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Guardians 5-0 Sunday to avoid a four-game sweep. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner was perfect through five innings and finished with a nearly flawless performance. He had a baserunner for the first time after Will Wilson doubled on the second pitch of the sixth. Advertisement Skubal (5-2) gave up only one more hit and hit one batter with a pitch in a masterful, 94-pitch outing that included just 22 balls. It was the eighth complete game in the major leagues this season and fifth individual shutout. Logan Allen (2-3) allowed a season-high five runs — four earned — five hits and four walks over 3 2/3 innings. Justyn-Henry Malloy hit a leadoff single and scored on McKinstry's third homer. Javier Báez followed with a double and came home on Gleyber Torres' double. Allen's throwing error allowed Detroit to take a 5-0 lead. Cleveland kept leadoff hitter Steven Kwan out of the lineup for the first time this season. First baseman Carlos Santana was scratched with tightness in his left leg. Advertisement Key moment McKinstry provided a much-needed homer for a team that lost the first three games in the series against the defending AL Central champions who eliminated them in their AL Division Series. Key stat Skubal became the first in franchise history to have 10-plus strikeouts in four straight home games. Up next Detroit RHP Keider Montero (1-1, 5.28) and San Francisco RHP Hayden Birdsong (2-0, 1.91) are the probable pitchers in their series opener at Comerica Park on Monday afternoon before Cleveland starts a homestand with RHP Gavin Williams (4-2, 3.94) and RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (5-3, 1.86) scheduled to start. ___ AP MLB:
