Notes & reviews

Protest=V
Angels manager Mike Scioscia argued that Raul Mondesi ran inside the line and interfered with Matt Shoemaker's throw to 1B; the ball appeared to glance off Mondesi's leg and the ball went into RF foul territory; no interference was ruled after a long conversation; acting crew chief and HP umpire Phil Cuzzi talked to the replay center but this is not a reviewable play; Scioscia protested the game based on Cuzzi's interpretation of the rule, not the judgement of whether Mondesi was out of the baseline; Cuzzi said that the runner could be in fair territoy to touch the bag; this was Mondesi's first career hit; the protest was denied the next day
