Notes & reviews

Rodriguez interfered with throw to 2nd on attempted steal by Oliver; originally ruled double play which is incorrect (it should have been that the runner was out and the batter remained at the plate with a 2-2 count; both teams left the field and refused to play; after a 10 minute delay, the ruling was changed to the batter being out, which was also incorrect, but the game went on
