Notes & reviews

Rangers DH Josh Hamilton tried to score from 3B on a foul popup in front of the 3B dugout when no one covered the plate; after Brandon Inge caught the ball, 3B Coach Dave Anderson told Hamilton to go; catcher Victor Martinez ran back to the plate, taking a throw from Inge and tagging Hamilton; Hamilton slid across the plate face first and suffered a small non-displaced fracture of the humerus bone just below his right shoulder
