A look at what’s happening all around the majors today:

BAD BLOOD

The Tigers and Twins close out a three-game series a day after benches cleared and punches were thrown. Detroit’s JaCoby Jones was hit in the face by a pitch, and two innings later, Minnesota slugger Miguel Sano punched Tigers catcher James McCann in the mask as both dugouts emptied after Matthew Boyd threw a pitch behind Sano. Jones was taken to a hospital after he was drilled in the left side of his mouth by a 90 mph fastball from Twins reliever Justin Haley. Jones’ mouth was bleeding, and he was escorted back to the bench and removed from the game.
