Tigers' can't overcome Astros' 4-run first; Cabrera, Gardenhire tossed in loss

Houston — Maybe Miguel Cabrera will cut his manager a nice, fat check at the end of the year for all the ejections he’s incurred on his behalf this season.

It happened again Monday night, in the fifth inning of the Tigers’ 5-4 loss to the Houston Astros.

With the count 3-2 on Astros' Yordan Alvarez, home plate umpire Alfonso Marquez quickly pulled off his mask, turned to the Tigers' dugout and tossed Cabrera, who apparently had been barking at Marquez about his strike zone.
