Notes & reviews

Mike Lowell foul tipped the fourth pitch but HP umpire CB Bucknor ruled that the ball hit the ground before being caught by Kelly Shoppach; Indians manager Eric Wedge came to argue briefly; Lowell hit the next pitch down the third base line; Mark DeRosa grabbed the ball and stepped on third for the out but the ball was ruled foul by Bucknor; Wedge came out again and was ejected by Bucknor
