Notes & reviews

Orioles third baseman Melvin Mora left the game due to an injured leg
Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie yelled at HP umpire Sam Holbrook as he left the game, talking about the strike zone
Orioles catcher Ramon Hernandez requested HP umpire Sam Holbrook to check with 3B umpire Chad Fairchild on the possible swing by Akinori Iwamura on the second pitch; it was ruled no swing and Hernandez said some things to Holbrook; Holbrook told Hernandez to throw the ball back to pitcher Fernando Cabrera and then the argument escalated with the ultimate result that Hernandez was ejected by Holbrook
