Notes & reviews

Pirates Manager John Russell ejected by HP umpire Jerry Layne when he argued that the second pitch to Nyjer Morgan hit Morgan's finger and not the bat; Layne called it a foul ball
Andrew McCutchen showed bunt and the Indians' infield put on the 'wheel play' to cover; Jack Wilson stole third when no one covered the bag
