Notes & reviews
- obstruction called on Rays third baseman Willy Aybar by 2B umpire Doug Eddings when A.J. Pierzynski stuck his arm out and made contact with Aybar after Aybar made a throw; the ruling was that, even though Pierzynski initiated the contact, it is Aybar's responsibility to get out of the way
