The Detroit Tigers sent their closer from last season, Alex Lange, to Triple-A after a series of events that did not make manager AJ Hinch happy.

Afterward, Hinch came out for a mound visit and visibly scolded Lange. Benetti also said that Lange had a similar reaction after allowing back-to-back walks earlier in the week.
