Rajai Davis robbed Jerry Sands of a potential RBI hit in the fourth inning of Saturday's game against the Indians, racing into the left-center field gap, and diving at the last moment to make the catch.

Through five innings, Tigers starter Alfredo Simon had not allowed a hit.

In the fifth inning of Sunday's game, Rangers manager Jeff Banister and third baseman Adrian Beltre were both tossed for arguing balls and strikes. At first, it was hard to tell which guys umpires Adam Hamari and Ron Kulpa had thrown out in which order.

That prompted this tweet:

Template for future use: ______ ejected _____ for ______. Subsequently, ______ was ejected by ______. Sincerely, #UmpShowInc

(For the record, I think it was Beltre by Hamari, followed by Banister by Kulpa, but you can see for yourself.)

Check out the video here:



Maybe Banister just wanted more time for another trip to Ann Arbor to hang out with University of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh. 

Daniel Norris hit a home run to dead center field in his first big-league at-bat Wednesday night, a two-run shot off Jon Lester.
