DETROIT -- Unhappy because they felt the calls werent being made evenly, the Detroit Tigers expressed their displeasure -- several times.Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez were ejected, along with manager Brad Ausmus and hitting coach Wally Joyner in a series of balls-and-strikes disputes as the Tigers five-game winning streak ended Saturday night in a 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.Victor Martinez argued with plate umpire Mike Everitt after taking strike one in the third inning. Martinez was tossed after about 30 seconds, then put his hands behind his back to continue the debate. He later flipped his helmet onto the field from the bench.It was just simply that we didnt like some of the pitches being called strikes on us, and it felt like we werent getting them called when our pitcher was on the mound, Ausmus said. So its not necessarily that we didnt think every pitch that was called a strike wasnt a strike, but wed like the same pitches called for us.Everitt spoke briefly to a pool reporter following the game.All of the players, as well as the manager and coach, were warned, and sometimes more than once or twice, Everitt said. I will be filing my report with the Commissioners office in New York.Kaleb Cowart hit his second career home run and C.J. Cron added an RBI single for the Angels.After Ian Kinsler struck out looking in the fifth, Joyner was ejected from the dugout by Everitt. Joyner came out to argue, Ausmus followed and was tossed, too.In the sixth, J.D. Martinez was called out, looked back at Everitt and was ejected.Ive never been ejected in a game, Martinez said. I just told him hes having a bad day. Everyone has bad days.Jhoulys Chacin (4-6) threw four scoreless innings and struck out five for the win. Fernando Salas closed for his fifth save.His relief picked up where he left off, in his last start against the Yankees, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Thats really encouraging. Hes matched up well with these guys. He pitched a great game against them in Anaheim early in the season. He pitched four strong innings.Rookie Michael Fulmer (10-5) gave up three runs in the third.I dont know if he had quite the same stuff we saw early in the year, Scioscia said. As far as his command he was up in the zone and got behind a lot of hitters, needed a lot of pitches to get through five.Kinsler hit a leadoff homer in the first inning. Andrew Romine, who replaced J.D. Martinez, drove in Miguel Cabrera with a grounder in the eighth.SECOND TIMECowarts first career hit was a home run in a 15-3 loss to Toronto on Aug. 22, 2015.EJECTION NIGHTIt was the fourth career ejection for Victor Martinez, the first for J.D.

Discount Air Max .S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA. Carl Frampton hijacked the grand plans of the brilliant Leo Santa Cruz on Saturday night with a stunning win in New York.Frampton of Northern Ireland was the underdog, the challenger, moving up in weight and away from home, but he fought with incredible intelligence to take Santa Cruzs WBA featherweight title.Santa Cruz was unbeaten in 33 fights. The Frampton fight was his 12th in four years for a world title and he had a long list of future opponents. Santa Cruz was destined for, and had been selected for, dominance and continued lucrative TV fights; nobody told Frampton before the first bell.Ringside at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, the champions and potential future challengers watched the brilliant Frampton use his brain to take rounds and then take the belt. Santa Cruz talked about a rematch, possibly in Los Angeles, and that could happen. However, he looked broken by the loss and will need to answer a few harsh questions about his lack of tactics.Lee Selby, the IBF featherweight champion from Barry Island in Wales, was an excited ringside guest. It was a great performance and I would love a fight with Carl, he said. That fight is certainly feasible, as the pair shares the same adviser in Al Haymon.Every single world featherweight champion, the leading contenders and all of the best super bantamweights will now want a fight with Frampton. Both Frampton and Santa Cruz are refugees from the super bantamweight division, men who simply needed the extra 4 pounds in weight to allow them to continue fighting.On Saturday night Frampton, 29, took a huge step toward stardom, and the look on the faces of those in the Santa Cruz business was priceless. Frampton is now an attraction in America, but he has a lot of lucrative options in Britain and Ireland.A partial unification with Selby would do stunning business outdoors in Belfast, as would a rematch with the British Scott Quigg, another ringside spectator to the Frampton show. In February at a sold-out venue inn Manchester, and in a big pay-per-view fight on Sky, Frampton broke Quiggs jaw and took his unbeaten record as well as his WBA super bantamweight title.ddddddddddddFrampton also trousered £1.5 million, phenomenal money for small men in any country and at any time. A rematch in Belfast would work -- Quigg wants it and it proves that British world champions are not dependent on the American market.The new WBO champion at featherweight, Oscar Valdez, who is unbeaten in 20 fights with 18 knockouts, would pose a fight that could top any bill in Las Vegas. A fight with the technically gifted WBC incumbent Gary Russell Jr. is another realistic option.We will look at all the champions, the leading contenders and other fighters -- Carl is suddenly very popular, insisted Barry McGuigan, who is Framptons promoter and mentor. McGuigan won the same WBA featherweight belt 30 years and 13 champions ago. He was in tears at the end.There is another option -- one that is admittedly very unlikely but is possibly going to keep on surfacing -- and that is the brilliant Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux. Frampton was ordered to defend his super bantamweight titles against Rigondeaux but took the sensible option: vacating, gaining weight and beating Santa Cruz, who was as daunting a task as Rigondeaux. The Cuban congratulated Frampton and promised to keep chasing him. He is a true warrior and I know he will fight me, Rigondeaux said.Right now Frampton needs to let his face stop aching, rest his sore hands and enjoy a Belfast homecoming that perhaps no other active boxer, certainly none of Britains other 13 world champions, could dream of experiencing. Santa Cruz, meanwhile, will return to California to try and make sense of what happened. At the same time the fight fixers will go to work in their parlours and try and get their boxers a piece of the Frampton action. ' ' '
