Notes & reviews
- Carlos Gomez rounded 2B too far and was tagged out before Delmon Young crossed the plate, thus preventing a run
- Twins third baseman Matt Tolbert left the game due to an injured back
- Joe Mauer hit a ball down the left field line that hit Melky Cabrera's glove and landed fair before bouncing into the seats; LF umpire Phil Cuzzi called it foul
