Notes & reviews
- center fielder Rajai Davis caught and dropped the ball; the play was ruled no catch, so Delmon Young ran to second; 2B umpire John Hirschbeck then ruled that it was a catch; since the Athletics tagged Young, he was out as well; Twins Manager Ron Gardenhire argued the decision for a while and was ejected by Hirschbeck
- Twins catcher Joe Mauer left the game due to an injured knee
