Notes & reviews

Homer Bailey turned to bunt and then did not; he hit the ball down the 1B line between the mound and the line; Carlos Lee threw to 2B for the out but there was some confusion about who was covering 1B for the relay throw; pitcher Wandy Rodriguez ran to cover on the play and 2B Jose Altuve was there as well; Altuve was standing behind the bag in foul territory when the throw arrived and in no position to catch the ball, which sailed to the edge of the field and caromed back to Altuve; Bailey turned briefly towards 2B but then walked back to the 1B bag; Altuve threw to Rodriguez for the out; it is not a double play because of the misplay on the throw to 1B
