DETROIT — Detroit Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter has
left a game against the Kansas City Royals after having a cramp in his
right hamstring.
Hunter hit a single Monday night in the fourth
inning, grabbed behind his right leg when he got to first base and left
the game. He was grimacing in pain as he ran toward first base and was
angry that he was ailing enough that he had to leave the field.
The
38-year-old Hunter has played in 60 of 66 games this season, hitting
.266 with nine homers and 35 RBIs for the AL Central-leading Tigers.
