Notes & reviews

Alcides Escobar called for interference for bumping Adrian Beltre on the baseline
replay,6,piera001,TEX,scotd901,ARL02,O,N,I,,H $A.J. Pierzynski's fly ball struck the top of the padded wall in CF and caromed back onto the field; it was ruled in play but the Rangers asked about the call so crew chief Dale Scott watched the replay and upheld the call
