Notes & reviews

replay,1,uptob001,TBA,westj901,STP01,O,Y,I,,H $B.J. Upton's high fly hit a catwalk at Tropicana Field; the ball dropped in the outfield about 30 feet in front of CF Colby Rasmus, who was near the warning track; Upton reached 2B on the play and talked to the umpires saying that the ball hit one of the catwalks that the ground rules designate as a home run; Rays manager Joe Maddon talked with crew chief Joe West, who watched the replay and overturned the call to a home run
