Notes & reviews
- Michael Tucker's long fly appeared to be caught by Long at the wall; however, Long lost it over the fence on impact for what should have been a homer; however, as Caruso approached 2nd base, he thought the ball was caught and started back to first as Tucker rounded the bag; Tucker stopped and Caruso passed him going back to 1st; Tucker called out for passing Caruso
