Notes & reviews

  • Eric Chavez called for obstruction at 3B during rundown on Varitek
  • Eric Byrnes did not touch HP as Jason Varitek blocked it with his foot; the wild throw went to the other side of Byrnes from the catcher; Byrnes appeared to hurt his ankle in the collision; Varitek retrieved the ball and tagged Byrnes, who was called out
  • Bill Mueller called for obstruction but ruling was that it occurred before Miguel Tejada reached 3B; therefore, Tejada was awarded the next base, which was 3B and further advance was at his own peril; Tejada stopped running, tagged out by 30 feet; there was a long discussion by the umpires and then a long argument from A's manager Ken Macha
