There may be another kind of fireworks on display as the teams finish their four-game set. Tempers have begun to flare after a series of incidents in the Bronx, but the Yankees would prefer to settle the score with a third consecutive victory Thursday afternoon. It’s unclear if Alex Rodriguez will be able to play after missing the last two games with a calf injury, but the Yankees haven’t missed his bat. New York has piled up 15 runs and five homers while winning consecutive games to keep pace with Tampa Bay, which is tied with the Yankees atop the AL East.
The barrage of home runs has been no surprise considering there have been more homers at Yankee Stadium than any ballpark this year, but the rising tensions were unexpected. After Detroit’s Carlos Guillen was injured on a hard slide by Brett Gardner in Monday’s series opener, Tigers starter Jeremy Bonderman hit Gardner with his first pitch Wednesday. Both benches were warned, but no players were ejected after the Yankees hit Cabrera and the Tigers threw behind Derek Jeter later in the game. Tigers manager Jim Leyland was the only man ejected after arguing with crew chief Eric Cooper. Hughes, however, will be trying to snap a trend of alternating wins and losses that has lasted for seven starts. He pitched six innings in an 8-3 victory at Kansas City on Saturday, winning despite not recording a strikeout for the first time this season.
