DETROIT (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Dennis Santana was involved in an altercation with a fan during the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader with the Detroit Tigers and at one point is seen leaping and swiping at the person.
In videos posted to social media, Santana can be seen pointing out the fan to a police officer before jumping and swinging at the person who is in the front row above the Pittsburgh bullpen at Comerica Park.
The fan appeared to be wearing a Tigers hat and a shirt honoring Pirates Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente.

The Mercury managed to hold off Breanna Stewart’s 35-point performance by winning the fourth quarter, 25-16, and eventually win the game 89-81 at Barclays Center on Thursday night.
But the loss of Jonquel Jones to another right ankle injury right before a four-game road trip looms large for Sandy Brondello and her team.
