Notes & reviews

when C.C. Sabathia did not get over to cover first, Mark Teixeira had to dive to the bag to make the putout; Orlando Hudson ran to third when he saw Teixeira down on the ground
Yankees RF Greg Golson claimed he caught the sinking liner but the play was ruled a trap by RF umpire Chris Guccione; the umpires huddled but let the call stand
