Notes & reviews
- Kinsler swung and missed for strike 3 at a pitch which hit him in the right bicep. As written in rule 6.05(f), he is out. But the rule does not specify putout and in this case the ball rolled to the first baseman who made the play. Apparently (according to MLB and STATS game totals), the putout went to the catcher and there was no assist.
