Notes & reviews

replay,1,mccua001,PIT,gibsg901,DET05,,N,M,PIT,A $when Neil Walker was called out at 2B, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle challenged the ruling; the call was upheld by replay; originally scored as wild pitch, but the out was made before any advance so cannot be wild pitch which was removed on 07-02-2015
replay,5,mccaj001,DET,gibsg901,DET05,,Y,U,,H $James McCann's fly to RF was touched by a fan who reached over the railing on top of the wall; the ball was ruled in play; acting crew chief Greg Gibson requested a review, which overturned the call to fan interference
Gorkys Hernandez called out on appeal for missing 2B on his way to 3B; he had rounded the bag then started back to 1B, touching the bag; when he saw that the ball was not caught he failed to retouch when he ran to 3B; originally scored as double and out on appeal, but the failure of runner to retouch the base means he did not reach it safely so this becomes a force out, which transfers runner responsibility to previous pitcher (Wilson) who now gets the loss
