Notes & reviews

replay,9,shopk001,TBA,darlg901,STP01,O,N,I,,H $Kelly Shoppach's towering fly ball appeared to hit one of the catwalks at Tropicana Field; Yankees LF Brett Gardner caught the ball on the warning track; Rays manager Joe Maddon talked with crew chief Gary Darling and asked if the ball hit the C-ring catwalk; if it did, the play is a home run by ground rule; Darling watched the replay for 4 minutes and 2 seconds and upheld the call
