8/01/26	[NBC Sports Bay Area] - Kenley Jansen, Jeff McNeil exchange words, benches clear to end Athletics game. The to the Detroit Tigers on Saturday at Sutter Health Park was a tense one, for more reasons than one. With the A’s mounting a near-comeback in the bottom of the ninth inning, a two-out, RBI bunt single by second baseman certainly set Tigers closer off. The star reliever engaged in a postgame confrontation with McNeil once the final out had been caught, leading to a benches-clearing spectacle for the fans in West Sacramento. Benches clear at the end of tonight's Athletics-Tigers game after Kenley Jansen takes issue with Jeff McNeil's late bunt single — Athletics on NBCS (@NBCSAthletics) McNeil, who entered the game in the eighth inning as pinch-hitter, came up to bat again in the ninth and pushed a bunt single down the third-base line with Kevin McGonigle playing back near the 5-6 hole. The hit scored Tyler Soderstrom from third to make it 8-6 in a game where the A’s once were down 8-2. “Are you not allowed to try to win the game?” A’s broadcaster Dallas Braden, incredulous, asked on the NBC Sports California telecast. “Is that what you would have me do, if I’m Jeff McNeil, and I had a team giving me an opportunity to win this game, to hand the baton to the guy behind me, to keep the inning alive, to keep our chances at winning the game alive? “Am I just supposed to do it in a way that you’re OK with?” Kenley Jansen was not happy ?? — Athletics on NBCS (@NBCSAthletics) Braden certainly has a point. And while it’s understandable why emotions were high for Jansen, who definitely wouldn’t have wanted Saturday’s ninth inning to slip through his fingers, the “unwritten rules” of baseball shouldn’t impact a player trying to keep his team afloat. When all was said and done, it didn’t matter. Henry Bolte, who hit a game-changing three-run homer for the A’s the inning before, flew out to left field to end the game and hand Jansen his 13th save of the 2026 MLB season.
