Notes & reviews

Valbuena slid into third head first just ahead of the tag; it appeared his hand might have touched the base but came off when he was tagged; Mariners third base coach Sam Perlozzo immediately objected to the out call and had to be led away from 3B umpire Bill Miller; manager Jim Riggleman also objected to the call and was ejected by Miller
