Notes & reviews

Twins challenged call that Dozier was out at first; call was overturned - safe on error
Dodgers challenged changes on double switch, since they were told that the new pitcher had entered in the 5th spot which had been occupied by Eddie Rosario and Adrianza had entered as left fielder in the 9th spot; however, after one pitch to Puig, Dodger manager Roberts pointed out to plate umpire Barrett that Rosario was still in left field and Polanco, who had been in the 7th spot, had left the game; after an 18 minute delay to sort out confusion with Replay Command Center in New York, the ruling was that pitcher Pressly should enter in the 5th spot and Polanco should return to the game; Minnesota manager Molitor had planned for pitcher to enter in the 7th spot, but there was a miscommunication with the plate umpire when subs were made
