Notes & reviews
- Edgar Renteria called for interference
- Cardinals manager LaRussa ejected by HP umpire Kellogg when he went to mound and waited for umpire to break up conference so he could complain about balls and strikes; LaRussa tried to make pitching change but was told he could not since he had been ejected; he then called for pitching coach to make the change, but that was denied since it would constitute two mound visits with same batter at plate
