Notes & reviews

error added on 09-27-2014, removing RBI and making run unearned
Ian Kinsler made a throw to the outfield side of 2B trying to double up Eric Hosmer; when the ball got by Eugenio Suarez, Salvador Perez scored; however, he did not tag up after the catch of the line drive; the Tigers appealed at 3B, but Perez was ruled safe; Tigers manager Brad Ausmus talked with acting crew chief Larry Vanover, the 3B umpire, about the call at 3B; the umpires huddled and then Vanover talked to the replay command center; Vanover said that this was not a reviewable play but the umpires called Perez out on appeal
