Notes & reviews
- Javier Vazquez took a swipe at the glove of 3B Aramis Ramirez at the end of the rundown; both benches emptied as the two players yelled at each other; Pirates coach Lloyd McClendon ejected by 1B umpire Wally Bell
- Aramis Ramirez charged the mound and threw his helmet at pitcher Javier Vazquez after being HBP; the helmet missed; both benches emptied as Vazquez threw a wild punch at Ramirez and missed; both players were ejected by HP umpire Paul Nauert
- Elmer Dessens threw a pitch up and in to Rondell White; both benches emptied but no one went past the foul lines
