Notes & reviews

Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander came set, started to turn to 1B and throw but threw to the plate instead; the ball hit batter David DeJesus, who started to first as everyone wondered what just happened; the umpires huddled and then called a balk on Verlander and returned DeJesus to the plate
Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden left the game due to an injured shoulder
