Notes & reviews

both teams warned
Guillen thought the first pitch hit him and complained to HP umpire Foster; Detroit manager Trammell also argued; the second pitch hit Guillen's helmet; Guillen charged mound, benches bullpens cleared; no punches were thrown and it appeared to be over when Tigers Farnsworth charged Royals Affeldt and threw him to the ground; Royals ejections: Hernandez, Brown, Castillo, and manager Bell; Detroit ejections: Guillen Bonderman and Farnsworth
