Notes & reviews

Quinlan entered the game officially as the left fielder but in reality as the fifth infielder; he played on the right side of the infield for Thome and the left side for Konerko; Hunter played left-center and Guerrero played right-center for the two batters
Figgins made a good play on Pierzynski; the first reaction by Figgins was to throw to first, but then he turned and caught Pierzynski off the bag for the out
