After Cleveland's Francisco Lindor hit his fifth-inning home run that caused jubilation at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan on Tuesday night, he ran the bases excitedly, came out for a curtain call and bowed from his shortstop position after taking the field in the bottom of the inning.
Francisco Lindor apologized for behavior after homer even though nobody objected
If anyone thought the Twins were upset about Francisco Lindor's reaction to hitting a home run on his return to Puerto Rico, they were imagining it.

One of the best reactions came from WCCO-AM producer Dan Cook, who tweeted:
So there you go. No controversy. Nothing like Brian Dozier's reaction to the ninth-inning bunt single (against a shift) by a Baltimore batter during the opening weekend of the season.
Just a sweet moment at the expense of a hanging curveball.
Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson, the brash speedster who shattered stolen base records and redefined baseball's leadoff position, has died. He was 65.
