Notes & reviews

Indians catcher Tim Laker blocked the plate and thought Torii Hunter missed the plate on his head first slide; Laker ran after Hunter and tagged him; when HP umpire Scott Nelson called Hunter safe, Laker exploded and was ejected by Nelson; Laker was led off the field but threw his mask, glove and the ball and then the bat boy's stool onto the field for arguing the call at HP
