Some notes from the game.

According to C. Trent Rosecrans Josh Hamilton called his HR that he hit today. This is from his blog

Josh Hamilton's last home run? 2002. He hit 9 in 2002 before having season-ending surgery on July 18 of that year. Add to that -- he called it. Hamilton and David Ross were talking before that at-bat. Ross was counting all the homers that had been hit already during the game. Hamilton then said, "You forgot one." After Ross looked at him, Hamilton continued, "The one I'm going to hit." And did he ever.

Jerry Gil threw out a runner at home from CF to end the game, preserving the 9-7 win.
