Notes:

Top of the 5th

* Fred Lewis hit a ball pop high about 20 feet down the 3rd base line, 3 feet fair, catcher Susuki and 3rd baseman Kouzmanoff converge, the catcher calls it and can't find it in the sun, the ball drops, a run scores and Encarnacion goes all the way to third from first.

Bottom of the 5th

* Daric Barton pops to centre field - a ball that normally is caught but gets lost in the sun, just like the pop to catcher Susuki in the top half of the inning! This time though it doesn't help the offensive side as Co-co Crisp, at 2B is either half way or on the bag when the ball drops. He's caught between the bases after a quick throw in to second by Wells, tagged at 3rd by Encarnacion. Barton advances to second on the throws.

Top of the 9th

Arencibio's pop to shallow right sends 2nd baseman Tolleson roving out towards CF and the right fielder charging in. The ball drops in no-mans land.
