Instant replay affirmed 2B Umpire Ben May's HR non-call in the top of the 3rd inning and 1B Umpire Adrian Johnson's out call in the bottom of the 9th inning of the Anegls-Cubs game. In the 3rd, with two out and none on, Angels batter Josh Hamilton hit a 1-1 pitch from Cubs pitcher Tsuyoshi Wada to deep right field. Upon instant replay review as the result of an inquiry by Angels Manager Mike Scioscia and initiation by crew chief Ted Barrett, May's ruling that Hamilton's fly ball hit the outfield wall and remained in play was affirmed, the call was correct. At the time of the review, the Cubs were leading, 2-1.
In the 8th, with none out and one on, Cubs batter Darwin Barney hit a 2-1 pitch from Angels pitcher Robert Carson to shortstop Grant Green, who threw to second baseman Taylor Lindsay to retire Cubs baserunner R1 Christian Villanueva, to Angels first baseman C.J. Cron as Barney arrived at first base. Upon instant replay review as the result of a challenge by Cubs Manager Rick Renteria, Johnson's ruling that Cron caught the ball and tagged first base prior to Barney's arrival was affirmed, the call was correct. At the time of the review, the Angels were leading, 8-4. The Angels ultimately won the contest, 8-4.
