Notes & reviews

Matt LaPorta's throw to 2B was in the dirt; SS Asdrubal Cabrera relayed the throw back to 1B where pitcher Rafael Perez was covering; all runners were safe on the play but Billy Butler got off 2B thinking he was out; Cabrera quietly signalled for Perez to throw the ball and Cabrera tagged Butler out
