Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | OAK@MIN: Gardenhire ejected for disputing double play - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia
The video doesn't show any call. U3 went out on it but that's all you can see. My guess is U3 called a catch (I thought it was a voluntary release) and the runner only saw the ball on the ground and took off for 2nd (oops).

Had the initial call been no-catch and subsequently changed, I am certain R1 would have been returned to 1st.
