Notes & reviews

Martinez' popup hit one of the speakers hanging from the ceiling and bounced in between the girders like a pinball before it fell near the plate
Sierra had minor strain of his quadriceps
Rivas tried for triple, but Pierzynski had stopped at 3B and Rivas saw his liner clear Cameron's head but did not see Pierzynski at 3B; he stopped half way to 3B and tried to get back but was tagged out by Bret Boone on a great play (Boone had taken the throw well into the outfield and ran to 2B to make a diving tag)
