Yankees, Tigers get physical

Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera and Yankees catcher Austin Romine wrestled on the ground near home plate during the first of three bench-clearing altercations during Detroit’s testy 10-6 victory over New York on Thursday.

Five players were ejected from the game in Detroit, along with both managers.

The winning and losing pitchers — Detroit’s

Alex Wilson and New York’s Dellin Betances — were among those ejected. Betances was tossed after he hit a batter in the helmet with a pitch, tried to indicate it was a breaking ball and argued with the umps. New York reliever Tommy Kahnle and manager Joe Girardi were tossed after Kahnle threw a pitch behind Cabrera in the sixth. With the game about to resume, Cabrera stepped toward Romine and the two exchanged words. The New York catcher took off his mask, and Cabrera gave him a twohanded push to the chest.

Cabrera appeared to take a couple of swings at Romine, and the two ended up on the ground as players from both teams spilled onto the field. Cabrera and Romine were ejected.

The ill will carried over to the Detroit dugout, where star pitcher

Justin Verlander and teammates Victor Martinez and Nicholas Castellanos got into some sort of dispute.

Conforto injured:

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto dislocated his left shoulder against Arizona, collapsing in pain after swinging at a pitch.
