In the third inning of today’s game, Elliot Johnson of the Rays put down what was described on the radio as a perfect bunt.

But he was thrown out when Livan Hernandez kicked the ball, in the air, to Justin Morneau at first base. According to an incredulous Gordo and Gladden, the play received a standing ovation — from the stands and from the Tampa Bay dugout

There’d better be video.

Livan gave up one run in his first four innings. The newly installed center fielder, Gogomez, misplayed a line drive that turned into a triple by Akinori Iwamura, who scored on Jason Bartlett’s double.

Livan’s final line — 6 innings, 4 hits (2 by Bartlett), 1 run, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts.
