Notes & reviews

  • replay,8,kubej002,MIN,tscht901,PHO01,O,N,I,,H $Jason Kubel's fly ball hit the overhand in the deepest part of CF just to the left of the vertical yellow line; it was ruled in play but the Twins asked about the call so crew chief Tim Tschida watched the replay and upheld the call
