Notes & reviews

John Valentin caught the ball while diving into the seats and flipped it to Nomar Garciaparra while his feet were still in the air; Garciaparra threw the ball to Jeff Frye, who was running to cover 3B; Frye tagged Jorge Posada but Posada was awarded the base as an automatic advance since Valentin fell into a dead ball area while making the catch
