Notes & reviews

replay,6,longe001,TBA,gormb901,HOU03,O,Y,I,,H $Evan Longoria's fly to the LF Crawford boxes was ruled in play; Longoria, who thought he had a home run, was thrown out at 2B; a fan touched the ball, which caromed back onto the field; the umpires huddled briefly; crew chief Brian Gorman watched the replay and overturned the call to a home run; this was the second use of replay in this series
