DETROIT -- Tyler Collins made a misplay in the outfield, but was guilty of an even bigger mistake immediately afterward, flipping off the jeering crowd at Comerica Park during the sixth inning of the Detroit Tigers' 7-3 win over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night.
The 25-year-old outfielder lost Marcus Semien's fly ball in the lights and was roundly booed for his efforts, as well as the resulting error credited to left fielder Justin Upton when the ball dropped for a double. Collins responded by waving a one-finger gesture toward the restless crowd, inciting the home fans' anger even further.
