Notes & reviews

HP umpire Mike Estabrook called the check swing on Ian Kinsler for strike three; Kinsler said something as he walked across the plate; a couple of steps later, he slammed his bat down and was ejected by Estabrook; Kinsler did not know he was ejected and started to walk out to the infield
