Notes & reviews

  • Rays pitcher Jeff Niemann left the game due to an injured back
  • Toronto manager John Farrell walked to the plate after making the pitching change and talked to HP umpire Chad Fairchild; after a brief, calm discussion, Fairchild ejected Farrell
  • the throw to first was wide on the foul side of the bag; first baseman Adam Lind swiped at Sam Fuld as he ran past; Fuld was called safe by 1B umpire Joe West; the umpires huddled and then Fuld was called out; 1B coach George Hendrick started talking with West and Rays Manager Joe Maddon ran out to argue; West told Maddon to go back to the dugout a couple of times and then ejected Maddon
  • B.J. Upton went nuts after being called out for the third time in the game; he was immediately ejected by HP umpire Chad Fairchild; Upton kept yelling and pointing at Fairchild and had to be restrained by two coaches
