Notes & reviews

LF Dante Bichette attempted a sliding catch of Terry Francona's line drive; Bichette appeared to trap the ball and threw to HP; B.J. Surhoff slid in under the tag and Francona took 2B on the throw; 3B umpire Ken Kaiser ruled Bichette made the catch, negating the entire play; Francona and Brewers manager Tom Trebelhorn argued heatedly with Kaiser; this play caused repercussions on 7/9
