Notes & reviews

replay,1,machm001,BAL,hirsj901,KAN06,,Y,M,BAL,D $Manny Machado's fly to CF caromed off Lorenzo Cain's glove and struck the wall; Cain fell to the ground with the ball in his glove and held it up to show he caught it; the play was ruled a catch but Orioles manager Buck Showalter challenged the ruling; the call was overturned by replay
