Notes & reviews

Nick Swisher was called safe because 1B umpire Andy Fletcher ruled that Rangers 1B Mike Napoli missed the bag in his race to beat Swisher; replays showed that Swisher also missed the bag; the Rangers argued the call to no avail
Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba said something to 1B umpire Andy Fletcher as he ran by and was immediately ejected by Fletcher
Rangers center fielder Julio Borbon left the game due to an injured leg
