Notes & reviews

replay,1,murpd005,TEX,cousd901,ARL02,O,N,I,,H $Twins center fielder Denard Span jumped for the ball but did not touch it; the ball hit the top of the padding and rebounded back onto the field; it was ruled in play; the umpires huddled and then crew chief Derryl Cousins watched the replay and upheld the call
the first hit of the game by the Twins, with one out in the ninth
