One game after harsh criticism, Ian Kinsler shakes hand of ump Angel Hernandez

ARLINGTON, TEXAS - A day after Ian Kinsler told reporters that umpire Angel Hernandez should find another job, the two appeared to find some common ground in front of 22,700 people in Arlington.

The Detroit Tigers second baseman reportedly shook hands with Hernandez, prior to the bottom of the first inning, The Associated Press reported.

Hernandez was working second base during the Tigers' series finale against the Rangers on Wednesday. Detroit lost 12-6.

It wasn't clear how or who initiated the handshake, but there appeared to be a few words shared between the two before Hernandez walked up to Kinsler and shook his hand and briefly put his hand on the second baseman's shoulder.

Hernandez ejected Kinsler from Tuesday's game for arguing balls and strikes. After the game, the 12-year MLB veteran told reporters that Hernandez is a bad umpire who is "messing" with games "blatantly."

"It has to do with changing the game," he said. "He's changing the game. He needs to find another job, he really does."

Harsh words but it appears both men have decided to move on.
