with a 2-2 count, Russell Martin's return throw to pitcher Aaron Sanchez struck Shin-Soo Choo's left hand; he was holding his bat in front of him and the ball struck that hand; Rougned Odor scored but HP umpire Dale Scott called time and sent Odor back to 3B; Rangers manager Jeff Banister talked to Scott and the umpires huddled; Odor was allowed to score; fans threw beer cans and other trash onto the field; Scott requested a review on a rules check; the run was allowed and Blue Jays manager John Gibbons protested the game; the protest became moot when the Blue Jays won; Michael Saunders ejected by 3B umpire Vic Carapazza for yelling from the dugout
replay,7,reveb001,TOR,scotd901,TOR02,,N,M,TEX,P $when Dalton Pompey was called out at HP, he slid into catcher Chris Gimenez' legs, knocking down Gimenez; Pompey was not called for interference with Gimenez on the HP collision rule; Rangers manager Jeff Banister challenged the ruling; the call was upheld by replay
Jose Bautista stood at HP admiring his homer and then made an elaborate bat flip; fans threw stuff onto the field in celebration; when next batter Edwin Encarnacion stood near HP before stepping into the batter's box; he gestured to the fans to stop throwing trash; pitcher Sam Dyson walked to HP and yelled at Encarnacion, thinking that Encarnacion was continuing Bautista's showboating; both benches cleared; Mark Buehrle ejected by HP umpire Dale Scott for coming on the field; Buehrle was not on the active roster and not allowed on the field
Troy Tulowitzki stood at HP taking off his batting gloves; pitcher Sam Dyson walked to HP, spoke to Tulo and tapped him on the butt; Tulo took exception to this; Dyson continued walking to the dugout; as he did, Dyson said somthing else and waved off Tulo; both benches cleared again
