Notes & reviews

1:53 rain delay before start of game; umpire Angel Campos, scheduled to work behind the plate, became ill during the delay and was taken to the hospital where he had an emergency appendectomy
Trevor Crowe's bat broke and the barrel struck catcher Joe Mauer on the mask
the pitch hit Jason Donald's finger as he bunted the ball and then the ball bounced up and hit him in fair territory; he was called for interference and both runners sent back to their bases; Travis Hafner had scored what appeared to be the first run of the game
Indians shortstop Jason Donald left the game due to an injured hand
Thome's 587th homer to pass Frank Robinson and move into eighth place
