DETROIT — Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Dennis Santana was concerned in an altercation with a fan throughout the second recreation of Thursday’s doubleheader with the Detroit Tigers and at one level was seen leaping and swiping on the particular person.
In movies posted to social media, Santana will be seen stating the fan to a police officer earlier than leaping and swinging on the particular person, who was within the entrance row above the Pittsburgh bullpen at Comerica Park.
The fan gave the impression to be carrying a Tigers hat and a shirt honoring Pirates Corridor of Famer Roberto Clemente.
After leaping on the fan, Santana was escorted away by Pirates bullpen personnel and held again by a teammate.
He entered the sport within the ninth inning, pitching to at least one batter earlier than a rain delay. The Pirates received 8-4.
