The Angels defeat the Astros, 6 – 5, in a game played under protest. Angels manager Mike Scioscia objects when home plate umpire Fieldin Culbreth allows Houston manager Bo Porter to replace reliever Wesley Wrightwith Hector Ambriz before Wright has faced a single batter in the top of the 7th. This is in apparent contradiction to rule 3.05 (b), that explicitly states that “the substitute pitcher shall pitch to the batter then at-bat, or any substitute batter, until such batter is put out or reaches first base, or until the offensive team is put out, unless the substitute pitcher sustains injury.” The Angels, who trail 5 – 3 at the time of the controversial call, drop the protest as they win the game on Mark Trumbo’s two-run homer and Alberto Callaspo’s sacrifice fly; for his part, Culbreth refuses to give an explanation for his errant call but the Commissioner’s office will suspend him for two days for his egregious misinterpretation of the rule.
