Notes & reviews

replay,1,walkn001,PIT,laynj901,PIT08,,Y,M,DET,A $when Andrew McCutchen was called safe at 2B on a steal attempt, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus challenged the ruling; the call was overturned by replay
umpchange,9,umphome,davib902
umpchange,9,ump2b,(None)
a pitch glanced off the catcher's glove and struck HP umpire Jerry Layne on the mask; Layne left the game and 2B umpire Bob Davidson moved behind HP; there was confusion whether the pitch was a foul ball; after an umpire meeting, the pitch was ruled ball four
