Notes & reviews

Cliff Lee pitched while Denard Span was in the box but not looking; it was the first pitch of the at bat and was inside; Span thought it was a quick pitch and said something to Lee; Span and Lee exchanged words as Span left the field; both benches cleared
Carlos Ruiz called for runner interference
