Notes & reviews

a blinding flash of lightning that seemed to be directly above the stadium was followed immediately by a tremendously loud boom of thunder; Josh Willingham hit the ground while most players, coaches and umpires ran for cover in the dugouts; the grounds crew rushed out and started to roll the tarp onto the field even though it was not raining; they stopped but then it did start to rain, causing a 46-minute delay
Rangers pitcher Michael Kirkman left the game due to an injured leg
