Notes & reviews

  • on the third pitch to Denard Span, he was struck by the pitch and awarded first by HP umpire Bill Welke; Span had attempted to bunt and 3B umpire Marty Foster ruled that Span had swung; thus, Span had to come back to the plate and resume his at bat; Twins Manager Ron Gardenhire came out to argue with Foster and was ejected by Foster; Gardenhire argued for several minutes; as he left the field, Gardenhire threw his hat and kicked it about 15 feet into the air; the crowd chanted 'Gardy!, Gardy!' and started throwing hats and other items onto the field; White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen took his team off the field; Gardenhire said after the game that the hat was excessive but that he hoped the Vikings coach saw it in case he needs a new punter; said Gardenhire: 'I got good height on it!'
