Notes & reviews

• Royals pitcher Gil Meche left the game due to an injured back
• catcher Miguel Olivo's return throw to first went past Billy Butler; the Royals complained that Jason Varitek was in fair territory and should be called out for interference
• after the end of the seventh inning, Royals manager Trey Hillman went on the field to disscuss the non-call on the interference with HP umpire Todd Tichenor, who eventually ejected Hillman
