Notes & reviews

Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Duffy left the game due to an injured leg.
Peter Kozma's hurried throw tailed away from 1B towards the infield grass; batter Wilson Betemit collided with Albert Pujols, jamming Pujols' wrist and shoulder back; Pujols left with a non-displaced fracture of his left radius bone
