-

MINNEAPOLI­S— Detroit outfielder JaCoby Jones said he felt lucky a day after being hit in the face by a pitch that sparked a benches-clearing tussle between the Tigers and Minnesota Twins. Jones was taken to the hospital Saturday after getting a scare when a pitch from Twins reliever Justin Haley left him bloodied and a little dazed. He needed nine stitches in his lip, but said he was still able to have dinner that night. The Tigers recalled outfielder Jim Adduci from Triple-A Toledo to fill in for Jones.
