Notes & reviews

replay,5,choij001,ANA,laynj901,CHI11,,Y,M,ANA,C $when Ji-Man Choi was called out at 1B, Angels manager Mike Scioscia challenged the ruling; the call was overturned by replay
two fans reached out on Dexter Fowler's popup behind 3B; the fans did not touch the ball and it was ruled not to be fan interference; Angels manager Mike Scioscia talked with 3B umpire Stu Scheurwater and crew chief Jerry Layne; the umpires huddled and overturned the call to interference and an out since the fans seemed to impede Yunel Escobar
