Notes & reviews

Asdrubal Cabrera threw to 3B but Lonnie Chisenhall had moved into the infield in the cut-off position for a possible throw from LF to HP; Chisenhall dived for the throw but it went to the 3B dugout and Alex Avila scored
during the pitching change, Tigers 3B coach Gene Lamont told Quintin Berry to steal 3B and not worry about being safe or out because once the Indians made a play on Berry they would not be able to appeal that Avila missed 3B; Berry ran to 3B and was tagged out but time was still out during the pitching change
once time was in, Quintin Berry ran to 3B but new pitcher Tony Sipp threw to 3B and Lonnie Chisenhall stepped on the bag to appeal that Alex Avila missed the bag; 3B umpire Wally Bell called Avila out and the run that he had scored on the error was taken off the board
