Gardy gets call at first base overturned

MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire successfully challenged a play at first base to end the top of the sixth inning of Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

With two outs, Rajai Davis hit a slow roller back to pitcher Kyle Gibson, who threw to first in an attempt to get the speedy Davis. Davis was initially ruled safe by first-base umpire Jim Joyce.

Gardenhire came out and challenged, and after a review that lasted two minutes and 34 seconds, the call on the field was overturned.

Gardenhire has now challenged 36 calls this season and had 20 overturned.
