Notes & reviews

Debut game for Eric Hinske
Debut game for Scott Cassidy
Blue Jays coach Rojas ejected by 1B umpire Cousins after Blue Jays manager Martinez argued that Sanchez had been doubled off 2nd; Rojas came out of dugout and waved arms to get attention of Martinez to appeal that Varitek had left 3rd too soon; umpire Cousins thought Rojas was arguing same call as Martinez and ejected him
