Minnesota Twins infielder Miguel Sano started his Saturday afternoon with a double in the first inning. It ended after being ejected from the Saturday contest. While the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues battled in the neighboring city of St. Paul, the Twins and Tigers had plenty of fireworks of their own at Target Field.
The headline may have happened in the bottom of the fifth inning, but the top of the third inning is where the story starts. Reliever Justin Haley was pitching to JaCoby Jones when an errant pitch ended up hitting Jones in the face.
