Notes & reviews

  • Orlando Hernandez, angry about Russ Johnson's double, threw a fastball inside to Randy Winn, who had to jump out of the way; many Devil Rays yelled at Hernandez from the bench; Hernandez stared at them until catcher Jorge Posada went to Hernandez and turned him away; Winn tried to check his swing on the 2-1 pitch, which was called a strike; Devils Rays 3B coach Billy Hatcher was ejected by 3B umpire CB Bucknor; Winn's at bat took about 10 minutes
  • FLE3 somewhere in this inning
  • Debut game for Randy Choate
  • originally E9, not E3
  • after Bobby Smith struck out, catcher Jorge Posada stepped in front of the plate to throw the ball to 3B; Smith pushed Posada slightly; Posada shoved Smith and they started wrestling; they fell to the ground with Smith on top, flailing away with both hands at Posada; the benches cleared and the players were separated; both were ejected by HP umpire Rick Reed
