Notes & reviews

  • replay,6,bautj002,TOR,tscht901,MIN04,O,Y,I,,H $Jose Bautista's line drive just cleared the LF fence and hit the concrete wall behind the flowers; the ball rebounded back onto the field and was ruled in play; Bautista stopped at 2B but the Blue Jays were all yelling that the ball cleared the fence; crew chief Tim Tschida watched the replay and overturned the call to a home run
