Notes & reviews
- Jack Howell's throw seemed to pull Bip Roberts off the bag; 2B umpire Gerry Davis ruled Casey Candaele out; Astros manager Art Howe argued with Davis
- Fred McGriff fielded the bunt along the 1B line and attempted to tag Craig Biggio; Biggio dove around McGriff and 1B umpire Charlie Reliford ruled Biggio safe; HP Umpire Jerry Layne overruled Reliford, saying that Biggio went out of the baseline and was out; Astros manager Art Howe argued with and was ejected by Layne
