Instant replay affirmed 1B Umpire David Rackley's out calls in the bottom of the 3rd and 8th innings of the Giants-Rangers game. In the 3rd, with one out and none on, Rangers batter Elvis Andrus hit a 2-2 fastball from Giants pitcher Ryan Vogelsong to shortstop Brandon Crawford, who threw to first baseman Mark Minicozzi as Andrus arrived at first base. Upon instant replay review as the result of a challenge by Rangers Manager Ron Washington, Rackley's ruling that Minicozzi caught the throw and tagged first base prior to Andrus' touch arrival was confirmed, the call was correct. At the time of the instant replay review, the contest was tied, 1-1.
In the bottom of the 8th, with two out and one on, Rangers batter Bryan Petersen hit a 2-2 fastball from Giants pitcher Derek Law to second baseman Joe Panik, who threw to Minicozzi as Petersen arrived at first base. Upon instant replay review as the result of an inquiry by Rangers Manager Washington and initiation by crew chief Todd Tichenor, Rackley's ruling that Minicozzi caught the throw and tagged first base prior to Petersen's touch arrival was upheld, the call was correct. At the time of the instant replay review, the contest was tied, 4-4. The game ultimately ended in a 4-4 tie.
