Notes & reviews

the third pitch to Nyjer Morgan was inside; Morgan turned his shoulder towards the ball and ran to 1B after being hit on the shoulder; HP umpire Bob Davidson called him back, saying he did not try to get out of the way but turned into the ball; Morgan ran back to Davidson to argue but Brewers manager Ron Roenicke came out to talk to Davidson while 3B coach Ed Sedar and 3B umpire Jerry Layne moved Morgan away
Brewers hitting coach Sveum and manager Roenicke ejected by HP umpire Davidson for continuing argument thar Morgan had been hit by pitch
Rays manager Joe Maddon sent Sam Fuld, who had pinch hit for pitcher J.P. Howell, out to the mound to warm up; this was a trick to give pitcher Cesar Ramos more time to get ready in the bullpen; after Fuld threw his eight warm up tosses, Maddon went out and took him out; this was not a legal change, because Fuld must face one batter before being removed; according to crew chief Jerry Layne, HP umpire Bob Davidson was told that Fuld was unable to pitch because he was hurt; no trainer was involved in the process of removing Fuld; Brewers manager Ron Roenicke did not protest the change; Layne was quoted as saying that the umpires are not doctors
