Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli lost it on home plate umpire John Bacon after he called Ryan Jeffers out in a crucial moment of the Twins’ 4-3 home loss to the Tigers in 11 innings on Thursday night.
Baldelli came storming out of the Twins’ dugout after Bacon ruled that Jeffers had fouled the ball into the glove of Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler for the first out of the bottom of the 11th.
Jeffers said it hit the ground, and Baldelli seemingly concurred as he came out of the dugout demanding that the umpire look at the play.
