Notes & reviews

Protest=H
3B umpire Dale Ford called Jay Bell out for passing Jose Offerman; however, Offerman had been forced out already; the umpires put Bell back on 3B; Yankees manager Joe Torre protested the game; Torre talked to the umpires the next night at the pregame meeting and told them this was one of the worst umpiring performances he had ever seen
the Yankees argued that Hipolito Pichardo had balked, which would have scored the game-ending run; Yankees coach Don Zimmer ejected by HP umpire Mike Reilly
