Notes & reviews

Oakland Manager Art Howe ran out of the dugout to argue the call on Miguel Tejada but pulled a hamstring part way to the plate and limped the rest of the way holding his leg; HP umpire Chuck Meriwether managed to keep from laughing as Howe meekly kicked some dirt on the plate; Howe was ejected
