Notes & reviews

Pitcher Towers ejected by HP umpire Poncino for throwing at Huff
Pitcher Aquilino Lopez ejected by HP umpire Poncino for throwing behind Crawford; benches cleared and Crawford ejected by Poncino along with Blue Jays Sturtze for fighting; Miller originally credited with save, but proper reading of rule 10.20 indicates that he did not enter in a save situation; he inherited a 2-0 count on a batter who walked but that essentially created his own save situation which is not permitted
