Notes & reviews

the runners moved up on what they thought was ball four while the Twins were busy trying to check if the batter swung; after some confusion, the catcher asked for a check swing call and the pitch was ruled a swinging strike; pitcher Guerrier ran to 2B and tagged Thome and then ran to 3B and tagged Quentin; Minnesota Manager Gardenhire argued about the delay in the call on the pitch; Manager Ron Gardenhire ejected by HP umpire Doug Eddings
Twins pitcher Pat Neshek left the game due to an injured elbow
