- Twins challenged call that Schoop was out at 1st; call was overturned - safe on error
- Batter started to 1st after ball 3, thinking he had walked; runner saw him and started to 2nd; pitcher threw to 1st and got runner coming back to base

- Minnesota manager Baldelli ejected by HP umpire Estabrook for arguing that Cron should have been awarded a hit by pitch when he was hit on the hand by a pitch that hit him, but umpire ruled he swung so no HBP
