Notes & reviews

Athletics Manager Bob Geren argued the safe call at 1B
Jayson Nix slid in head first and touched the bag ahead of the tag by Bobby Crosby; Nix kept sliding and his hand came off the bag while Crosby continued to hold his glove on Nix's arm but 2B umpire Gary Darling ruled that Crosby pushed Nix off the bag; Athletics Manager Bob Geren argued the call and was ejected by Darling
