Notes & reviews
- replay,3,butlb003,KCA,demud901,KAN06,O,N,I,,H $Billy Butler's fly ball hit the top of the padding and caromed back onto the field; it was ruled a home run but Yankees manager Joe Girardi asked about the call; crew chief Dana DeMuth watched the replay and upheld the call; the Yankees were upset by this; Mariano Rivera yelled from the dugout and was told to stop by HP umpire Chad Fairchild; when Rivera continued, coaches moved him away; Girardi went out to talk with DeMuth, insisting that the ground rule made this a ball in play; after the game, the four umpires were on the warning track with supervisor Steve Palermo
