Notes & reviews

Sheffield argued a called strike then broke his bat on the ground ball; he threw the hanle end down angrily, ran half way to 1B and the turned back towards home plate to argue some more; mgr Jim Leyland and Ivan Rodriguez restrained Sheffield as he pointed at HP umpire Greg Gibson, who ejected Sheffield
