Notes & reviews
- Carlos Guillen stared at pitcher Glen Perkins after a pitch was high and inside
- Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera left the game due to an injured leg
- the first pitch to Joe Mauer was behind him and the second almost hit him; HP umpire James Hoye issued a warning to both teams and Twins manager Ron Gardenhire came out to argue with Hoye, who ejected Gardenhire
