Notes & reviews

Brendan Ryan beat out the infield hit and saw no one covering 2B, as SS Eric Sogard was near the 3B line after fielding the grounder and 2B Jemile Weeks was backing up at 1B; when he ran to 2B and slid in, he saw no one covering 3B, since 3B Scott Sizemore had run towards 2B attempting to cover there; Ryan reached 3B without a play
Dustin Ackley's hard grounder down the 1B line was touched by a fan reaching over the wall; Ackley was awarded 3B on the fan interference
