DETROIT (AP) — Detroit stars Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez were ejected, along with manager Brad Ausmus and hitting coach Wally Joyner in a series of balls-and-strikes disputes as Tigers’ five-game winning streak ended Saturday night in a 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
Kaleb Cowart hit his second career home run and C.J. Cron added an RBI single for the Angels.
After Ian Kinsler struck out looking in the fifth, Joyner was ejected from the dugout by Everitt. Joyner came out to argue, Ausmus followed and was tossed, too.
In the sixth, J.D. Martinez was called out, looked back at Everitt and was ejected.
Jhoulys Chacin (4-6) threw four scoreless innings and struck out five for the win. Fernando Salas closed for his fifth save.
Rookie Michael Fulmer (10-5) gave up three runs in the third.
