ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Detroit Tigers left fielder Carlos Guillen left Thursday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels after injuring himself running the bases in the fifth inning.
The Tigers were leading 5-3 when Guillen tried to score on Scott Sizemore’s fifth-inning single to right-center off reliever Matt Palmer, but he came up limping midway between third and home and was gently tagged out by catcher Mike Napoli to end the inning.
The switch-hitting Guillen is batting .311 with a home run and eight RBIs in 61 at-bats. The three-time All-Star spent almost three months on the disabled list last season because of inflammation in his right shoulder, hitting .242 with 11 homers and 41 RBIs in 81 games.
