Notes & reviews

Over CF Hamilton's outstretched glove off wall; retrieved by RF Cruz
Victor Martinez checked his swing and reacted as if hit by the ball; HP umpire Larry Vanover asked 1B umpire Jim Wolf if Martinez swung; when the ball rolled to the backstop and catcher Mike Napoli did not run after it, Miguel Cabrera ran from 2B to home, apparently scoring a run; the umpires huddled and called the pitch a hit batter, placing Martinez on 1B and putting Cabrera back on 2B
off the LF pole
Shortstop Elvis Andrus made a fine running over-the-shoulder catch in shallow center field
Nelson Cruz hit the first game-ending grand slam in post-season history
