Notes & reviews

Astros challenged call that Benitendi was safe at home; call was upheld - safe at home
Red Sox challenged call that Kemp was safe at first; call was upheld - single
originally an E5 for interference as 3bman collided with runner who was pulled off-balance and tagged out trying to return to 2nd; umpires confrred and ruled runner safe since it was contact with the the fielder that led to his out; error removed on 06-01-2018
