Notes & reviews

originally scored as a dropped catch, changed to throwing error on 6-25-2012
Rays right fielder Matt Joyce left the game due to tightness in his back
replay,6,morsm001,WAS,tscht901,WAS11,I,N,I,,H $Michael Morse's fly was touched by a fan on top of the out-of-town scoreboard; the ball caromed off the railing above and behind the scoreboard and bounced back onto the field; it was ruled a home run by 1B umpire Jeff Nelson, who immediately walked into the center of the infield; the umpires huddled and then crew chief Tim Tschida watched the replay and upheld the call
with a 3-1 count on Ben Zobrist, 1B umpire Jeff Nelson called time; there was a delay while the ballpark operations staff coevered the batter's eye advertising sign, which had not closed to the plain green paint
when Joel Peralta came onto the field from the bullpen to enter the game, Nationals manager Davey Johnson came out and talked with HP Umpire Tim Tschida; Tschida called Rays manager Joe Madden onto the field and they walked to the mound; Tschida took Peralta's glove and found pine tar under the flap on the back; the glove was confiscated and Peralta ejected by Tschida
Rays manager Joe Maddon asked HP umpire Tim Tschida to check Nationals pitcher Ryan Mattheus for any foreign substances; none were found
